Well, yes, that’s the #1 thing, but there is also:
2) Maintain throttle setting (HEY! I said MAINTAIN throttle setting - you’re panicking and rollijng off it even as I write this, aren’t you?).
3) Shift your weight as FAR to the rear of the bike as possible while still being able to reach the controls (Further, further, further - I know you’re arms will stretch more than THAT).
4) Slowly (NO! SLOWER than that) begin easing off the throttle while making sure your weight remains as far to the rear of the bike as possible.
5) During all of the above, Keep On Praying!
It worked for me, at any rate...
Glad to hear you’re still with us after that. I’ll bet you almost needed a change of pants.
The throttle one is especially important as the sudden deceleration will dump you. I almost found out the hard way when I developed a high speed wobble (once).
Weight shifting is important on any two wheeled conveyance. I do that a lot on my mountain bike.

okay, I should have just a couple more replies... :-)
