And if it flips you believe you have some sort of control as to where you are going and what your legs and arms will do? You will most likely be a rag doll. Nice to have a plan, but at that point there is not much you can do.
Low side at 35 and let me know!
How often have you crashed? Seriously? 35 was like falling from a third story window. Thankfully I held the bike and was simply dragged to a stop.
