I was coming out of a long left sweeper. Road was dry and everything looked oke. Immediately followed after the sweeper comes a sharper right turn onto the highway. My speed was high, nearing the revlimit in 3rd coming out of the long sweeper. I slowed down a tad and prepared for the sharper turn onto the highway. What I wasn't expecting was that right in the middle of that turn there is a change in tarmac and that was still wet. The bike must have slid sideways a yard and a half and made this big wobble like it was about to throw me off. I was leaned over pretty far when that happened (I later noticed I touched the edge of my tire) and I ended up in the other lane because of that.

Now this may sound weird to some but this whole deal didn't scare me. Even at that moment the bike didn't feel like it was out of control. I was able to keep my head cool, I didn't stiffen up, nor did I panic. I didn't close the throttle, no brakes. I just let it go and kept my hands on the bars and feet on the pegs. I am convinced that my steering damper has saved my butt on this one. I'm pretty sure this would have ended in a tank slapper and/or high sider without it.

I realize I have been extremely lucky today. This could have ended very, VERY ugly.

I *know* I shouldn't be racing like this on the street ... I thank God I didn't crash today and that He has granted me another warning.

Glad to hear you are ok. It just goes to show that you have to be prepared for the unexpected and not to panic. I hope that when I face such a situation like that I keep my cool. :clap :clap :clap :clap

Wow, That would have made many real video shows. I had my sporty try to buck me off before on gravel I hit while avoiding the typical old lady who cant see nor hear anything but is still driving. I made it out ok but the verbal abuse I gave the old lady woulda made sailors blush! Also what did your underwear (if Any?) look like?

Good thing your ok bro.
