I want to see the full video of what sent him into the tank slapper.

Minor "wth!?!" I see this outside my office window every day: (Presumably) adult drivers that can't seem to figure out the concept of angled parking spaces. |

In all seriousness that is one lucky dude, He was cool about the crash and big for the motorists helping. He is probably glad he at least wore tan pants but kicking himself for not wearing brown if you get me. Also probably glad he didn't loose his wallet. Winning lottery ticket time. | |

Usually the front wheel leaves the ground and tank slappers start when the front wheel touches back down and it's not tracing straight with the rear tire. | ||

How did I get the wobbles? NO I DIDN'T WHEELIE. I was merging onto the freeway, checking traffic while I ventured over to the carpool lane. When I got next to the carpool lane, I check if it was clear again, then merged in while quickly accelerating in first gear. When I got up to enough speed to pass traffic (Traffic was doing 75-80 MPH) I changed into second gear (where the clip starts). First mistake I made was having my weight WAY too far back on the bike while accelerating, that mixed with the extremely bumpy freeway and the acceleration of the bike caused the front wheel to go extremely light. Thus causing the violent speed wobbles. | |

Yep, I've also never ridden a bike that was so shit that it went into a tank slapper from a passing vehicle. Think about that for a second....that's a huge liability and a lawsuit waiting to happen in this day and time. Luckily he was OK, and learned from his mistake on what he did wrong. The only time I ever had anything close was front end chatter when riding hard, and it was always shitty tires that caused it, only happened twice in 23,000 miles and about 20 sets of tires. And I never ran either of those tires ever again.

I have full respect for Cops, but these guys look like a bunch of Keystone cops. Surprised one of the cops didn't shoot another cop when falling. Plus shooting 65 rounds in 15 secs and supposedly not hitting the suspect. San Francisco cops fire 65 shots in 15 seconds at murder suspect in dramatic video | Fox News |

This guy was so lucky. Instances like this are why I say I believe in desinty/fate. Some people die from hitting their head in a simple fall. In that case it was their time to go. In this case the guy was literally inches away from being crushed. It simply wasn't his time to go. | |

Sorry guys. Should have put a little more effort into my draft comment as sarcasm about Yamahas bubblegum suspension. Guessing it is a Yamaha MT07 or 09 but could be wrong. Yes, I know all to much what tank slapped, speed wobble, flying W's are etc. one of the reasons I bought a CanAm Spyder. Other than cattle guards it could care less about pot holes, pieces of wood, the occasional emergency maneuver, street markers and so on. Just glad the guy is safe and definitely a vid you save on your PC to replay when somebody says I got luck today and almost died. Oh yeah check this out and tell me how lucky you really were. |

There are no gun stores in SF cause bad people could buy a gun and do harm. Safer city and all that. So, why do all the police have guns? Oh wait people will always have guns whether good or bad. | |
