Knowing how to lay a bike down is an actual skill, it's just not one that you possess. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go out to my garage, and find the asshole who's been parking his no brakes Harley in there, and lying about my age at the bar. JC

This is generaly how I imagine myself laying down my bike on purpose, well, minus the 2nd guy, and I finish taking out the 1st guy quicker and rescue the chick and have plenty of time to escape
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAXjgTlstHs This is pretty much another good way to do it, fighting terroistas and rescuing american hostages. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPjWrDmsZ0

Seems to me the longer the rubber is contacting the road the better and faster you stop. I don't see the benefit of having the bike between you and the car unless you plan to slide under a semi-truck.
I'm guessing most people try to hang on to the bike as long as possible and slide by complete panic. I think this fucker still has his hand on the brake hoping he can save it... ![]()

Yup. Unless you're about to get decapitated by something (trailer) or have very compromised traction (off-pavement/hydroplaning/oil on tires/snow/etc.), those precious few seconds spent dicking around 'laying it down' would be far better spent braking and/or steering to far more effectively scrub off speed and change direction. It's not like once your ass hits the pavement it magically looses momentum & quits traveling in the same vector the bike was moving when you separate. Now if you brake/swerve so hard that you loose traction and low-side, that's one thing - but to me that's simply loosing it in an avoidance maneuver, not laying it down on purpose.

Before I can "lay a bike down" to avoid an obstacle, I gotta go get me a piece of shit Hardly-Ableson, some assless chaps, a skull bandana, some stupid looking sunshades and a ragged out fat bitch with cellulites on her ass.

I never got the point of Chaps on a motorcycle. It doesn't offer protection in the one place I want a whole lot of protection. I'd prefer wearing just the part they cut out.
