Hold it right there. "I had to lay it down" is pure fiction. Rubber has a much higher coefficient of friction than steel or aluminum does. A bike that's on two wheels can stop FAR more quickly than one that's sliding on it's side.
"I had to lay it down" inevitably means "I panicked and screwed up (usually locking the back brake and/or not using the front enough) and don't want it admit it - even to myself".
If you've "laid it down" you have already crashed. And things are probably only going to get worse.
