[QUOTE="Donal, post: 758841, member: 20675"] It's 'almost' impossible to do the right thing. You did really well up to the point where the 'tank slapper' got going. The best way to control a tank slapper is to practically let go of the bars, the bike will correct itself within a couple of cycles of the bars. You often see this in Moto GP where the rider comes off, the bike is 'slapping' away but as soon as the rider lets go, the bike will straighten up and then carry on until it hits something. Bikes are inherently stable thanks to those big old gyroscopes. The impossible bit is to think fast enough and have the confidence to do it. I guess the real answer is as WBill said and not get into one of those situations in the first place :rolleyes: Don [/QUOTE]
