How would you go about laying your bike down?

NEVER intentionally crash your motorcycle. When you crash, you relinquish all control over your vehicle and the situation. Additionally, every last moment you can spend braking is a significant reduction in impact force with another object.

My philosophy has been up to this point at least ride it out and fight til I'm down, don't panic and do whatever possible and can speak from my experience when that damn F-250 pulled out in front of me, I'll claim it as luck more so than skill but I did not panic and was able to apply maximum braking to get stopped. Then there was that time I hit the road covered in pine straw, took an off road excursion jumped a dirt mound and came back on the road

Agree...granted there is always going to be a situation where you cannot brake/swerve or accelerate, but the more you ride (commute) the more you realize that staying on the bike is the no. 1 priority. When you purposely lay a bike down, you chance to get run over by other vehicles. Not good.

1. Swerve and use all of the lane. A bike only requires 3 feet to clear.
