Before all the Darkside naysayers start, this was my own fault.
I took a fast left off of a 4 lane onto a road that has a Stop Sign 12 foot in. I did a fast stop and go, dropped into a left turn and accelerated hard. I caught the center line and the back tire jumped sideways on me. Low speed but under hard acceleration, I had a bit of a handfull for a quick second.

I am assuming you stayed up? I have done that did go down with a not so broken in Avon on the V65 Magna. I just picked up a Hankook today and I am looking forward to giving this Darkside thing a try.

I stayed up. Did the dirt track pose but never touched a foot because I stood up on pegs as well. I stayed with half gas and all in less than a second.
Not to claim of a great rider, but I feel good I corrected my own mistake.
 
Good catch! Now, why did you accelerate hard enough to reach the center stripe? (Sorry, the 'father' side of me had to ask that).
 
Steer with the throttle...nice save. When in doubt, throttle out!
