- Given the choice, neither of the two options.

- However, it's been my experience that once things have deteriorated
- to that extent, there's not enough time for a controlled reaction.
- Generally, I tumble, and only once, while rolling, did I ever have
- time to think "I want to stop rolling now." Luckily, before I could
- attempt to stop (don't ask me how I planned to do this), I heard the
- motorcycle rolling and bouncing behind me. I just relaxed and kept
- going; the bike stopped before I did.
-
- For some reason, I feel more comfortable falling to the left.
- (I also prefer turning left, for those keeping count :-)
