I had a similar experience and reacted similarly as a kid, hit by a car, although I was actually hurt.
Everyone was telling me to sit down & that I was in shock.

That was a pretty crazy tank slapper.
Dude is lucky as hell.

My dad got hit by a bus that mounted the pavement before I was born.

He was knocked flying through the air and came to rest about 300 feet away where he had seizure. Some shop owner came out and covered him in a blanket as he thought he was dead. Witnesses were treated for shock at scene and my dad was rushed to hospital.

He was treat for cuts and bruises and kept in for monitoring for a couple of days. He said the most painful thing he remembers about it was a tetanus shot he got.

I'm not a believer in god or anything but some higher power must have been looking out for him that day.

I worked with a guy who wiped out on his crotch rocket and thought he pissed himself.

Turns out it wasn't piss, it was gasoline as he had ripped the tank open.

For the record i don't know if it was a true story, but he told it in great detail, many times over years and never wavered on anything. I tend to believe that it was.

You gotta throttle out of those!
Shit.
I've heard throttle out and lean forward.
I've heard more throttle and lean back.
I've heard throttle out and lean back.
I've heard more throttle and lean forward.
I've heard throttle out bank right
I've heard more throttle bank right
I've heard throttle out bank left
I've heard more throttle bank left

No matter what you go with, luck better be on your side at that speed.

I’ve heard all of them too, but what we learned and worked best in superbike school was throttle and lean back. I’ve had two tank slappers and never went down. It’s easier said than done, of course, and your average rider will just grab a handful of brake lol

You got that going on and you choose to give it MORE gas and lean back?

This is why I drive a jeep. I can pop the doors off, go topless, an enjoy the open air while on 4 wheels instead of 2. Plus what good is a crotch rocket, or even a man's bike like a Harley, in 2 feet of snow. You want man card shit, enjoying driving past spun out cars on the highway without a care in the world in a blizzard.

If I had the money, I'd get the tread mods. Maybe I should go fishing with a gofundme.

And for those who think treaded jeeps arent a thing



I'd kill for that. Not to mention the Lil Bird, assuming it had rocket pods like mine in GTA5.

I actually have 2 Jeeps right now - 1 is street, 1 I'm modding out. And I have a 4x4 truck.

I also enjoy seeing people stranded in the snow. Occasionally I'll stop and wench them out. But if they look like a whiny liberal shit-sipper? Nah.

It just comes from riding a lot. A lot of people panic in those situations, but taking some classes and knowing what you’re supposed to do helps when a problem occurs. There’s a ton of people riding on the roads that honestly shouldn’t be. I even see these famous YouTube “moto vloggers” make rookie mistakes often.
