Yessir.

I haven't been able to locate the throttle on my DRZ properly to have this happen yet.

I used to do track days years ago. I have have spent more time riding [what some will call] recklessly on the street than anything else.

it scared the crap out of me the first time it happened. Making a left, starting to straighten out and got on the throttle. I didn't realize the front was off the ground until it came back down those few inches and the steering damper did it's job or it would have been a bad situation
