A couple years ago on my Goldwing, I came out of a tight curve that was wet from water dripping down from an overpass, and goosed the throttle to merge into traffic when I experience my first--and hopefully my last--tank slapper.
Scared the bejesus out of me, I basically did nothing but ease off the throttle and prepared to die. The bike straightened up on its own.
That experience sits in the back of my head when I round corners with the Busa at speeds I could never take the wing. I'm operating on the assumption that it's the excellerating too hard and too soon out of a corner along with the road surface that I need to watch for.
Any tank slapper survivors?
