you weigh less than a bike right?

do you know how mass works? what friction does? big things take more to slow down or speed up. separating yourself from the bike means you will slow down faster than it will. which means it goes off in front of you and flips and goes and does whatever the **** its going to do, and you get a nice view of it while you're sliding because you're going slower than the bike. if you tried to hold on to it what do you think would happen?
Why are you asking for advice, you seem to already be steeped in your own beliefs and opinions already?

I'm here with an open mind, but you don't seem to be offering anything as far as a plan for crashing right now. Educate me if you think you can. Dismiss my opinion if you want. No skin off my arse, you were the one who asked for advice.
