Had a tank slapper on my mate's GPZ1100, at about 135mph. Shat myself, damn near.
He fitted a damper and fork brace just after that. I never rode it again. Too scary.

The above dampener is mechanical. New bikes have electronic controlled dampening and the faster your speed is, the stiffer the dampener. It is still adjustable but lets you turn curves as your speed slows down automatically as you ride. Is a really nice feature.
@oldercodge, Should of went faster, they smooth out!
That's right watertower. Kind of hard to twist the throttle more when the bars are flopping back and forth faster than you can see. Hopefully you still have a hold on the bars.
