Supposed to open up the throttle to lighten the front end and be very light on the bars. Thank god I haven't had one yet, I'd need new underpants.

Glad he made it out the way he did. Only thing I can say is that by the way that road looked it didn't appear to be the smoothest of roads to be going that fast on.

not excited for the day to come when that happens to me. my buddy who i ride with has a 05 r6 and he says its happened once or twice to him and he just throttles out. idk if its true or not but i guess its worked.
obviously the last thing to do is grab the front brake.

I had a pretty aggressive tank slapper coming into a fast sweeping right hander a few seasons ago on my 08 R6. How it happened i do not know but i tapped the rear brake a little and got on the throttle HARD kinda out of weird instinct cuz i tensed way up but she straightened out luckily.

Yeah, saying "do [anything]" with the throttle isn't the greatest advice when you can't even hold the bars.
