Rocking slapper recovery.
How this guy didn't get railed into orbit I can't even guess.
I don't think he did anything. I think he just lucked out cause the road's wet.

If ever there was a good time for the pavement to be wet, this is it. I was hoping after he recovered that they would keep filming and he would stand up and pull another wheelie in defiance of death.
WOW!

I sort of had the same thought, though I was prepared to cringe if he did [laugh]
step 4: check pants.
Step 4 should be "buy new pants"
[laugh]
video no workie
Must be pretty easy to get out of those leathers after you mess all over the insides.
Damn.
good thing the road was wet.
Wow... Some people get really lucky, some really don't.

Either he's really good or ...... it's not his time yet .......
holy sh!t batman
is it ok to be laughing and crying at the same time.....?
holy damn! :o
lucky SOB...
i'm not gonna say he's lucky or good... he's effin stupid in my opinion... not only the slab wheelie in traffic... but in the rain to boot... yeah... i'd smack him up side the head with a squid in a heartbeat
WHEW! That bike wiggled just a bit!
JM
that made MY ass pucker.
Made your ass pucker? I bet they had to use needle nose pliers to get those leathers out of his ass. ;D

Even if was a stupid stunt (read squid) he did a good job of saving it, never lost cool or control. [clap]
Riding the center on wet roads is always a bad idea, too much road slime. :o
We need a squidly icon..

I used to think the same way until I experienced a tank slapper on the track, that stopped on it's own (at least Im pretty sure it wasn't me [laugh] )
The truth is, there's no time to even think about trying to do something. It's over as fast as it starts.
In this case, physics was on his side, despite his best efforts [laugh]
