I had a small highside buck 8yrs or so ago into a right hand corner after hitting a patch of sand. I managed to stay on the bike after checking out the headlight upside down. I came back down onto the seat left foot hit the ground, right foot his the rear brake locking that up allowing me to slide across the apex into the nice comfy ditch facing the wrong way. I never did go down or fall over, did stall out though. I sat there for a second and said to myself "damn that was close!" I thumbed the start buttom and eased back home.
2 weeks later I went to the Gap for the first time, and every right hand corner made me see it happening again, and spooked the poop out of me. Just recently in the last 2yrs I have been able to enter rights handers with the same confidence as I do with left handers. I do still have some moments though.
