What should you do in a tank slapper?

[potatobroxd]

Just saw this random video today, looks crazy random and it looked like it was purely luck that he got out of it twice. Any tips for what to do in this situation or is it just mainly luck?

EDIT: looked like he couldve literally died in both tank slaps

Don't wheelie, hold on tight and slow down slowly.

The old accepted suggestion was to accelerate to get weight transferred off the front but not met anyone with the presence of mind to do it as everyone seems to slow down instinctively.

Seen a fair few and experienced one or two, not nice things.

Once put a head stock bearing in a Z1000J slightly off level and at 110 steady as a rock 112 lock to lock slap ! Very disturbing.

Cheers

Don't try to fight it , just relax and fill your pants .

In my case back in Feb 78 at 110mph......I hit the deck!

I never want to repeat that experience!

Avoid it.

Similar to this scenario..

you

tighten your sphincter

tense all your muscles

release vast amounts of adrenalin

 

As it's going to happen and at least you can claim to be in control

I had a small tank slapper on my old ninja once coming over a rise in the road and I pinned it over it put the front down as a car came in to view and the front was slightly skew but I just clutched it back up and vowed never to do that ever again because yes I did indeed fill my leathers

or you could go to the conveniences before you go out on the bike (less mess)
