“It takes a tremendous amount of poise to see a situation with no good outcome, and have the guts to jump off a bike going that quickly.”
Not really. Harrowing but it’s irresistible instinct.
Part of the secret is to not start tumbling that’s when you break things. Land flat and slide.
I did the same thing on a dirt bike riding down a dirt road that intersected with a busy county road. I was only doing about 30mph and laid
it down. The bike slid across the county road into a ditch and was like me, a few scrapes but otherwise fine. The alternative was to possibly get taken out by a car.
Harrowing but it’s irresistible instinct.
I’ve been on a bike at simular speeds a few times.
Never once felt any inclination to unload?
Ever.
