I think trying to hold on, I actually hit the twist throttle and launched it as I went down. Not a fun ride.
Back when I was about 10, kids my age in the neighborhood where getting new bikes. Dad decided to teach me to ride his motorcycle around the big yard. A better thrill than new bike.
1 thing he drilled into my head; "It will not work if you are going to hit something, but if you see you are going to fall, open the throttle. Most times, power is more likely to pull you up than brakes, you get a 2nd chance to control it. And if you don't pull it out, you go down in glory!"
