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 Last edited by grimey121uk; 19-01-11 at 06:30 PM. |

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).

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.
