i read a few of the posts. it looks like all the posters in that thread joined in jan of 08.. seemed odd, and the language between the 3 most prevalent posters is similar enough to point at one young kid talking to himself with 3 different accounts with very few other people actually chiming in. I love the description of the highsides.. he doesn't actually
know what chopping the throttle means.

I don't think CHOPPING THE THROTTLE has much to do at all with highsides. How many times have you been highsided off a bike?

Yeah, there's three kinds of rear orientated crashes in my experience. One is you're over real far and the rear loses traction but slips out and you lowside. That's pretty rare.
The second is that it just keeps spinning and you can't really seem to get it back and then it catches and.... bam. sometimes it catches because you release the throttle, but by then it's pretty far out of line.
And then there's the worst highsides. You're going along like a hero one moment and the next you're flying through the air thinking WTF? Am I not on the bike any longer? WTF?
Well setup suspensions get wheel spin all the time, and it doesn't toss them.
