A personal example of how full gear can save your ass!

This would be the runner up. Best to start with the more obvious causes.

The front end will act like a pogo stick under fast transistions because it is either not setup correctly or the valving is allowing too much rebound. This is one major issue on big pistion forks (which he doesn't have). It's possible that the rebound was too quick or compression a tad too tight. It makes the front wheel somewhat loose contact and allow slippage.

Right. I've felt that before. My transition was pretty much done and I was starting to lean the bike more. Could still play a factor after the fact because the suspension is trying to catch up, I dunno. It's just something I've never felt on the track or the street in my six years of riding. It took six years to have an official wreck. Not too bad...considering I ride like a maniac in most peoples' minds.

Ah, I see. I understand how it works now.

The only reminder I'm keeping.
