Insane Tankslap Recovery

That's not a tank slapper that's a high-side!

A tank slapper is when the bars repeatedly flick violently from side to side due to a resonant oscillation

(for reference: off the brakes, don't fight the bars and accelerate gently out of it before changing your underwear)

This video however was a high-side: You accelerate too hard exiting a corner causing the rear to break traction and slide. When you come off the power this makes the rear wheel grip again suddenly causing the bike to violently flick back into line and throwing you up and out of the seat (and usually off the bike all together). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J4fdc_G2cA

Who says motorcycles are dangerous eh?

Pretty sure this is an old clip that's been featured in many a compilation. Finding it on the other hand would be a challenge.

One of the very rare occasions where I must complain: Thanks for the slow motion replay, but how did it look in real time?

You're right. Finding it on the one hand was easy, but it's much harder finding it on the other hand.
