Anyone here highsided on the street?

Sounds like you can only highside at the track when applying too much throttle when exiting a corner..

I've seen some big highsides on the track. I've never seen one on the street. I know a couple of friends who've highsided at the Gap but I wasn't there to witness. I myself have never highsided.

I wanted to see what similarities there might have been if any.

Are you trying to learn how to highside?

My situation that I described in my post probably wasn't really a highside by definition. I started not to post about it but it's the closest I've come...I flew up and over the front/side of the bike but again...it probably wasn't really a highside.

I hope I don't get the chance to do a textbook one and post about it.

Now that I think about it I also flew up and over the front of my bike when I slammed into that car that pulled in front of me and that wasn't really a highside either.
