    Biggest wobbles and saves from Moto GP!

    I'm impatiently waiting for bike season, might as well watch some vids! Some of these saves have got to be nothing more than luck! Especially when they're almost completely off the bike!

    From 2:10-2:22 was the best I thought. I LOL'd at 2:13 though.

    THe most amazing part is they continue on like nothing happened. If that was me, Id immediately shit myself. Pull off. Regroup. Shit myself once more. Clean out my tighties. Puke. Then go take a nap.

    I can't figure out if 2:00-2:03 was a save or not...

    looks like the biggest lesson to learn here is to stay on the throttle the whole time.

    When in doubt, throttle it out?

    I love how so many of them nearly lose it and go on to finish the turn faster than I'll ever be.

    That and don't be afraid to throw a foot down like you're on dirt. I was pretty impressed by that.

    I had a highside a few years back that I'm still amazed I saved. if it wasn't for the windscreen I would have either kissed the fender or just gone completely over. sometimes you just get damn lucky

    Re: Biggest wobbles and saves from Moto GP!

    I've ridden out some crazy wobbles. As for getting back on the gas, what else are you gonna do? pulling over has no benefit whatsoever. In fact, it would be a mental setback. You can't give these things time to settle in your brain as negative, or scary events. You SAVED it. that is a positive outcome. rock on!

    Please. I've done that on two bikes at once and still saved it.
