Never ever never (unless you really know what you are doing) grab the front brake while leaned over. The bikes normal reaction is to stand up and go straight...
lol...i know. i learned that the hard way... LOL. i bet ya the bike was absolutely able to make that turn. the rider, (me) got scared and hit the brakes...bad mistake. i shoulda just gave it some gas and leaned hard into it, and looked where i wanted to be, not look at what i might hit...:(
