I think tank slap and lock to lock are synonymous. It happened to me once.

Many years ago on my '79 Bonneville T-140E I hit a "gator tail", which is a big, nasty, steel cord protruding, semi-truck retread, at night, in the rain. I went airborne, made a good landing, went lock to lock for a couple of terrifying seconds and came to a halt without going down, didn't even bend the rims.

That's my tank slap tale.
