How would you go about laying your bike down?

I don't like your options, how about 35mph without a bike or 5 mph with one?

I undertand what you're saying amj, fully.

But! You will always stop faster while one the bike on the brakes, as opposed to sliding on your ass.

I've looped a bike at 60mph and slid and rolled at least 75 to 100 feet. I could have stopped using my brakes in 1/4 of that.

The bike would have slid much further, but it got stopped by some trees.
