| Re: What is meant by 'Tank Slapper'? Only had a tank slapper once and it was only at about 45mph along the single track road to my house. Still gave me a fright though. I rolled off the throttle a wee bit and stuck my feet out like stabilizers. I stayed on though and cursed the silt on the road washed off the fields that caused it. |
