Not saying your a bad guy just think you made a bad decision.

I made a bad decision for myself. I didn't make a bad decision for them. I didn't put a gun to their heads and make them drag race. I didn't put a gun to their heads and make them proposition me for a drag race.

Right on, brother. If some joker shit piles his bike or car racing, I have no sympathy. I also don't expect any if I am the shit pilee. That's the way the world works.

Should we be racing or speeding? Absolutely not. Anyone who has never street raced or went 20 over the speed limit please raise their hand.

I go to church and street race, hiway race, track race and sometimes I cuss...BUT I am forgiven!

Yeah I have saw quite a few crashes... always could see them coming... low sides and such.

As far as lockingup the rear... I'm not sure why he would do that, but I also don't get why it high sided due to it...

I only saw one crash and it was my brother. We took a curve and he caught some sand and low sided. Luckily we were going a moderate pace and he slid into a yard with grass and the bike made it out ok. My heart was racing like a mutha since it was my little bro. That shit scared me so bad I almost forgot to put my kickstand down on my dismount. We picked that hoe up inspected bike,inspected him and off to riding the rest of the afternoon.

Seems logical if the rear slid and he got sideways a touch then let off it and speed up and over. Draging his hard parts or lifting the rear tire from doing so then letting it catch would bring that on pretty easily right?

I'm thinking similar thoughts... if I was guessing,I'd say that he had a mechanical failure of some kind which locked up his rear tire. BTW braking and letting off can not cause a classic high side. However, he may have had the rear lock up,went side ways and "stuck" thus causing a high side like toss of his person.
