On a highside, unless you are downshifting in a turn, your more than likely not going to be spinning the rear tire, and thats when a highside happens.

Yeah, I hope I never low/highside either :knock on wood:. I'm a pretty big pussy when the road doesn't look good. But a lot of these new asphalt roads that are nice and smooth are just calling for it.
