I haven't had a Tank Slapper (and frankly, i thought they could only happen at high speeds, so this is pretty terrifying to read), but I've had an incident where a car *very nearly* murdered me by splitting (yea, a car lane splitting) past me on the freeway, hitting my leg, causing my foot to catch the pavement, and slingshotting it back into my bike. My brake lever was bent at the time, too, though it was on a CBR500.
Yup. Those are surfacing now. Left is worst than the right.

No mods, but my front tire is nearly bald. New tires go on tomorrow.
there it is. no traction on that front. it was just skating along on the road while your rear tire was pulling away. Just like a wonky shopping cart. still, at 50mph? the low speed is probably the reason you were able to recover.
