I'd say that sometimes it helps to accelerate through a major speed wobble but a hardcore tankslapper has thrown my hands off the bars every time. Had one break the lockstops on my TL1000s - extremely hazy memory but I recall hearing the tyres chirp as the bike had flicked itself up in the air. I landed back on the bike and fortunately kept going but was a total passenger for the event.
