RWD drifts H/Brake turns full power slides, 4 wheel power slides in my rangie (do need a wet road though) all fun, soon as a wheel looses traction front or rear on the bike and a visit to the laundry basket is in order!
Had the back go coming out of a roundabout, stepped out about 6 inches, (felt like 4 feet), gripped and carried on, I had no time to react took me completely by surprise on a dry road, feckin cr@pped myself, took about 10 minutes for the heart rate to approach something like normal.
I probably don't push traction to its limits (apart from the unexpected example above) and I have no idea where the traction (rear wheel) limits are.
