Thanks jrock, sorry to take a while to put that up, the toe/hard parts of the bike touching down is a great one and has caught me out before.

 

The idea with this is to have a list of each SR trigger that we can mentally run through in our minds so that we are better prepared when the situation arises. For example if you were to picture in your mind your toe/hard parts of your bike touching down and at the same time you are maintaining good throttle control, then when the situation occurs you are much more likely to do the right thing. Then you could picture the same thing happening and you have a nice easy grip on the bars etc..
