Anytime you leave your bike and then the bike finds you, its a bad thing no matter what you call it.

Carry a proper speed into the corner and accelerate out in the proper gear w/o wheel spin, or, too much wheel spin.
High siding would result with not enough entry corner speed and then too much acceleration coming out causing rear wheel spin which can pitch the bike sideways and the resultant high side get off.
Haven't high sided so am I doing it right???

I was just gonna say, one is a crash and one isn't.
A good corner drive doesn't hurt at all 
and a highside can be very painfull

Nope, you aren't even warm.
Shows I don't know squat (as suspected), so please enlighten with your wisdom.
I was following someone yesterday (with video) who went into a turn faster than he could handle; the moment he grabbed brakes (front and back), his bike started heading for the outside and for a sec didn't think he was going to be able to pull it off. I was behind him - my entry speed was a little slower, but I had a better lean and cracked throttle to increase once IN the turn...my bike turned inside his at a higher speed, and mine was heavier (Busa vs. Katana 750). Was interesting learning point as I had my video camera on him the whole time.

The infamous Mike Sullivan uses this explaination at his race school. I'll share his answer after everyone has a chance to participate.
Your video of your friend will be a great teaching tool. Since a camera don't lie, you and your friend can examine the tape and determine exactly what he did wrong and critique his mistakes.
Sounds like one of those "Oh Sheetz) moments?

I know a good corner to get on the highside. Its on the corner of Main St. and King St.
All seriousness aside....
I'd say the high side comes when the rear breaks loose as the result of too much throttle with the bike too far over.
Carry front brake to the apex, roll into the throttle (easily) and gradually from the apex out = good corner drive
Ok, wheres my toaster
Besides, I am not 'slow'
I prefer to be called unfast!

My two-cents - the heavier the motorcycle, the less you should 'upset' the bike once you have it in a lean. If your speed is (too) high, pull (or push to some) hard on the handlebars to extend your lean and ride out the corner. If lean is (too) much, try to (smoothly) accelerate out of the corner. Avoid touching the breaks or chopping the throttle mid-corner - both panic reactions - these will trigger the high-side - see first video - once the low-side slide starts, user correction can lead to a high-side. Once you recover your first mistake, reduce your future corner entry speeds.
