I guess you can think of it that way, I always cover the clutch and unless the bike leaves my hands I dont consider it really loosing control...
Lost it on me for what? Would you loose it on a hockey player at a hockey game if he hit someone into the boards right in front of you? Well I didnt even hit the boards I stopped a **** hair in front of it...
I never touched anyone neither did my bike, if thats too close for your comfort then I suggest you dont stand that close. I dont know what those people are thinking anyways, I wouldnt stand that close and I do that ****.. That is a totally different situation though, these guys didnt invite anyone to a stunt show that was advertised as such, they started their own in the middle of a bike meet from the sounds of it...LOL Next time they should gate off a designated stunt section, then people can decide how close they want to get...
Sorry, I didn't word that right. I would have lost it if you were to do something like at L and L and almost hit me. Which clearly you wouldn't do judging from your last paragraph.
As for they hockey game scenario, that's a risk you take when you get seats that close. So, I guess it's expected at the stunt shows if your right against the fence that it's a risk. Which is fine because you have the choice of being there or not.
