Lucky escape

Had my first tank slapper today, was turning right on a large motorway which leads to a slip road for the m61, as i was exiting the roundabout the back wheel started to wheel spin and the back end drifted out a long way and then my bars swung violently side to side about 5 times,

Road was slightly moist

luckily i managed to stay on,

Not sure if i hit a patch of oil/diesel as very strange as i wasn't even going fast, I was riding slower than a do in the pouring rain.

Just a warning to people in this damp weather

It's great fun - gives you a buzz

Well done for riding through it

Glad you stayed right side up. Ride safe.

Tank slap makes you feel alive

im sorry sir but you seemed to have failed the brown trouser inspection, but on the positive side you pasted the dont flap and feck up section

Well done you. More detailed analysis required please of what happened and how you reacted and how you treated the controls (if you can remember, I guess it was all over in a nanosecond).

Not had a tank slapper on the SV yet, not looking forward to the day I do lol.

Glad you be safe

Well im a wimp then, cos any loss of control like that scares the crap out of me except on my DRZ where i dont care as much.

Well done btw for keeping it together

Pleased you made it through. Reminded me of an incident with Randy Mamola back in the day blah blah. Atta boy Randy. Click on link.

I have had a few ones on country roads and managed to stay on, scary and a rush at the same time, had one as I was breaking for a round about and didn't see the diesel spill on the road and rear locked had to miss the turning and go back around, most scary as a car entered the round about as I was trying to stay upright.
