that way most of your weight stays on the rear tire which not only helps it get traction back, but is where you want to keep it in a turn... 40/60, right?
if you were sliding because you were at your traction limit (not because of sand in the road), chopping the throttle and transfering your weight up front would only make it worse... right?
whats that saying? when in doubt, gas it out?

I was in a pretty wide band of sand, if i had laid on the gas the rear would've slid out on me. Or atleast I'm pretty sure thats what would happen.
But I could be wrong I haven't been riding on a sport bike for very long.
