I've heard people say it and I've read it.
Something to do with a/x or track driving, I think. A hard or abrupt turn without control that causes the fuel to slap inside the tank?

Funny answers, if you don't really know, are strongly encouraged. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) I'll sort it all out.

Had a friend experience his 1st (and only) tank slapper a few years back. At about 80mph, his death grip cause it to get worse when it finally threw him off. The bike's right handlebar hit the ground which pinned the throttle, and it stood right back up and kept going till a parked truck on the side of the road stopped it. so yeah, the best thing to do is relax and ride it out, a little more gas takes the weight off the front and can help it straighten out, if you're going straight that is.
