So many things could cross your path.... A simple twig is enough to jolt your bars if you weren't expecting it. As far as corners.... I, personally, am especially cautious of corners in the woods. On a track is no big deal with the exception of downed riders. But one day I came around the corner 4th gear pinned on a CR250 and there was a guy on a quad with his daughter on the tank riding with him.... Her head was right at my handlebar level. I only had a fraction of a second for my brain to even comprehend what was about to take place.... So I turned off into the woods. My left side didn't clear a tree. I don't remember much... I remember seeing the back of my bike and then the sky so I knew I was flipping. I turned my fatty into a flatty. Wrapped the pipe right around the motor. Ripped the radiator and shifter off.... I was in bed for 4 months ordering parts on ****...LOL!!! When I got a little better I remember scooting down the basement stairs on my bum and putting my bike back together HA HA HA. But yeah.... Ever since that day I am VERY cautious on corners. So it's NEVER a bad thing to think ahead. [/QUOTE]
