Fingers crossed this works and this is worst case Tank slapper, as far as I know the rider was ok (relatively speaking)

that video always gets me. The guy so nearly recovers it.

Ahh, that reminds me so much of my scariest moment though I managed to recover it (still not sure how). I decided I was a goner, especially as there was a car right up my ass that would have definately run over me had I come off.

As far as I remember he lost a few fingers at least!

It still scares me just watching it.

What, by clenching hard? Or are you talking about the bike?

I would have to say the tank slapper I had was a major one, it really freaks you out when control is taken away from you like that. When I had my one I just thought of all the crash videos id seen and I knew what the end result was, I was convinced I was going to crash.

But I had been told before it happened to keep the throttle on enough to keep you moving, basically not accelerating and no engine braking at the same time and the bike did come back.

Friend said he will never get on a bike again, he needed alot of convincing anyway

oops!

How on earth do you keep the throttle constant when the bars are going lock to lock & yanking your throttle hand with them?

Good question! I used to get progressing wobbles under power that were obviously going somewhere bad but were slow enough that I could stop them before they got there, and every single time I had the image of that TT rider's bike just flying apart when it hits the ground...

I think it's a bit like powerslides or riding across bad gravel, just do as little as possible...
