lay the bike downstresses
moto., inf. "класть" мотоцикл (4uzhoj); "положить" мотоцикл (You generally get a phrase like' I couldn't stop in time so I had to lay the bike down'. This is code for 'I don't know and was never taught how to use the brakes.' • "I had to lay down the bike to avoid hitting the curb, sliding a good fifty feet," he said. "I was lucky to be alive." • Whenever someone says "I had to lay her down" all I hear is "I ran out of skill." • Laying a bike down to reduce the impact is not giving up. Sometimes it is all you have but you can not just toss the bike over without any thought. • I've never understood the "I had to lay the bike down" thing and don't see it as a strategy that should ever even come up. 4uzhoj)
