    Powersliding on the public road

    It is legal to powerslide on the public road as long as you do it to better control your motorcycle and it is in the interest of public safety.

    I'll bite.

    Name one example where powersliding a motorcycle would provide better control of a motorcycle in a situation where you were obeying speed limits.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    what about sliding up to intersections?
    it makes sence to square square corners off...

    powersliding shows great control, too much control even, perhaps you should get a high power race bike tom?

    Of course I have.

    On a track its a good idea sometimes but on the road at the speed limit it won't help you.

    Think you'll find that would come under the old 'sustained loss of traction' and you would get knicked for it, if not that 'careless or reckless use' or similar - wouldn't be hard for a to come up with a charge on that one.

    But hey, don't let me stop you

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    That's what I was thinking... Those dodgy boyracer laws might apply so instant impound of your bike could be on the cards.

    Sliding across diesil spill or oil and avoiding a high side from sudden grip on other side.

    Or for shits and giggles

    Go ask the mormon few, they will teach you all you need to know

    But no, i don't think the police will ever listen to your excuses if they caught you powersliding
