The scenario is... YOU are about to collide with a car (something solid), either you hitting it or it hitting you.
What do you do?
Note: this is after all evasive maneuvers have been done it's going to happen in the next; 1 second (5mph - 50+).
I ask this question to a lot of motorcyclist an am suprised the answer takes so long (if you have to think about it for more than 1 second you just had that collision).
What is the Right answer?
My answer is JUMP STRAIGHT UP. Why? Avoid the "Sudden Stop, if you are colliding with something or the Absorbsion of energy from what is about to collide with you".
My jump theory; puts me over the top of all that carnage below to dissipate via (taking my chances) flying through the air & skipping down the pavement until I come to a stop.
I practice this with the mental and get muscle memory by (in the proper conditions) forcibly standing up, butt off the seat.
Sidebar: this is getting harder the older and fatter I'm getting.
Soooo any experiences...comments?
In the interest of being prepared - so that it will never happen, FZ is a magnet for new riders what happens to new riders? That's why I'm commenting/asking.
Thanks.
