Do track bikes / off road bikes suffer a great deal from this - I assume by the nature of the sport they are being ridden very enthusiastically on a very bumpy surface

My friend was behind me when my 2nd one happened on a KTM LC40, he did say that the road was really very bumpy but his bike handled the bumps ok. We were doing the same speed, went over exactly the same patch of road but the KTM absorbed it ok

an LC40 is a completely different type of bike, nuff said.

rear brake doesn't help as front forks as well as the rear shock will slightly depress when used, which makes the slapper worse - and any raking force will add further pressure to the front wheel which is already bucking. You were right in the first place just to try and keep it steady and see through it. Some you won't be able to save.
