My "off" was not an intentional lay down, I actually high sided myself off the bike before it hit the truck. I was braking like mad and I wasn't slowing down. Finally the rear end slid out to the right, threw me off the the bike then landed on it's right side. Funny thing is, I was only going 36mph.
