Tank Slapper from Hell!!!!!!

[OB_Mabusa]

Ow! That musta hurt! If he only could have nailed the throttle and pulled a smallish wheelie I think it would have come out of it. I'm sure all he was thinking was about hanging on. Do you think the same?

Ok Gixxer1300R, why did you post that.... Scary as hell man!!!!

I remember watching this live on TV when it happened and you can try to get out of a tank slapper by wacking the throttle open but I'm sure your minds goes blank when it starts to happen.

This was during the Man TT race last year.Can you say Steering Damper?

 

[OB_NumbNuts]

Am I mistaken or do I remember reading somewhere that steering dampers donot prevent tank slappers??

I'll try and dig that out
I seem to remember its all about wobble and weave, and they are both diferent caused by totally different things

Now where was that.........this could take a while, like 3 days!!
