When you hit a pot hole, the rear shocks compress totally first then your neck second. At this point a jolt of electrical impulse is sent through your arms and your fingers straighten out. At this point you lose control since you momentarily are not holding onto your grips.

As RX says...

The rear end used to slip out a bit while cornering sometimes - new shocks & swingarm bushings fixed that nicely.
