That guy was just being stubborn. He had long since dumped the bike low side and tried to correct by locking the handlebars all the way left.

- teh_klev 7y agoThe rider wasn't being "stubborn". It's a right hand turn and "locking the handlebars all the way to the left" wasn't trying to correct the "dumping" of the bike. Locking the handlebars all the way left would hopefully have ensured the bike went down, stayed down and not sat back up again thus causing the "tank slapper". When you ride a bike, especially a motorbike you counter intuitively "steer left" to turn right, and vice versa. Former sports bike rider here...until I bit the big green banana.
