Angry Close one last night, god is good

I'm on 285, everybody is going a pretty good speed (70+). I'm doing about 80, for some reason last night these 2 import cars along with their buddies decide they are going to block off so that they can race. The guy in front of me slams the brakes so i swerve to avoid him and almost slam into the back of two civics going almost 10 mph. I let off the throttle which causes, i think what is called a tank slap and luckily i wobble right in between the two cars. Its times like these i'm happy i don't have a gun.

No reason to lower your IQ to their level. Just be thankful it didn't end up being a worse situation than just a angry post on a forum. Glad you're safe.

tank slap is dangerous... very few people can get out of it once it starts.... i was always told if i ever get into that situation , leave it alone and either wait for the bike to slow down slapping or take the fall... consider ur self lucky

I consider myself lucky, or more like blessed everyday after surviving my first accident on this bike.
