potatobroxd Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Don't wheelie, hold on tight and slow down slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 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.CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Richzx6r Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
