I had to lay 'er down ... stupidest statement indeed

Thanks for sharing that and glad that you are here to tell it. These days most bikes have ABS brakes which also enhance safety, especially in situations like that.

I personally don't believe that we can definitively say that there is no condition in which we'd like to initiate a lowside or try to jump off an go a different direction from the bike .. even Ari made a couple of examples. But in most cases the people who make such statements were not in those situations, and could have probably had a better outcome have they had better training and maybe more safety-capable motorcycles.
