It's that quick thinking I'd have trouble with.More likely a natural reaction to drop the bike as a part of loosing control in that "oh shit"moment doing a failed 90degree turn at 70mph!A very lucky rider.

With an impending collision with an object, your brain will require you to react and "DUCK", or recoil away, and you will lay back, brake, and lay down. Go back , recidivists, and watch the motorcycle rider react in the chase scene in "Bullet", starring Steve McQueen.

It will if it doesn't tell you that doing a 180º stoppie would be just perfect, or if you haven't embedded threshold braking then swerving into your brain cells between the pornographic images.

Not sure what my whole life's images would be flashing by in that moment!

Yer, and what about when Steve stretched the wire across the road and got the Nazi biker in the neck in The Great Escape.Or was it the front wheel?
I might have to do some recidivising?
