That would be the skidmark effect!

Will a limited slip stop that from happening or only make 2 skidmarks?

BTW, I am searching for a vid for ya. If I find one, I will link it

Lend me your bike and I'll let you catch it on video

Hell, look up any supermoto video and you can give someone the right idea.

The wobble is usually from applying the front brake while downshifting too far. If you just downshift and dump you'll slide in a straight line unless your balance is crap.

Get any clip of Ben Bostrom racing. He does it all the time.
