What is Sweet Livvy into high-siding

[lewsk]

Dear all, I am reading Mr. Mercedes.

" The old cop is certainly a bigger challenge than poor guilt-ridden Olivia Trelawney... but getting to her was such a hot hit to the nervous system that Brady can’t help wanting to try it again. In some ways prodding Sweet Livvy into high-siding it was a bigger thrill than cutting a bloody swath through that pack of job-hunting *******s at City Center."

What are Sweet Livvy and high-siding, I google them but have no idea.
I'd appreciate some explanation.

...Livvy is just a "pet name" for Olivia....high siding has several definitions, but in this case I would say it's mentally going in circles, then slamming into life's mental wall and losing it...
In terms of motorcycles "High siding" is where a sliding bike's tires gets traction and flips. As you go hard into a turn instead of the bike slipping out under you it bites very hard and does sort of a lever action along its wheel base.
