Ever see that video of a cop hitting the speed bump? That Harley front wheel certainly did some amazing contortions once his rear end ran out of suspension travel.
Scientists apparently say best chance of recovery is keep weight rearwards and accelerate :| but that kind of assumes you still have control, so you might want to try and keep hands on bars and feet on controls at all times,
interesting that is also completely polar thinking to relax your grip and get your weight a little further forward
I figure if the front wheel isn't doing its thing ride the rear, I'd probably already have shifted weight to the pegs as much as possible, if it gets so you can't ride either wheel may the force be with you.
wobble contributing factors imho are; heavy front wheel on less then perfect 14$ axle bearings front and rear, a little play in the lower fork legs because you are still riding on the same OEM fork oil water mix for years, tires low on pressure, stanchion tubes not tight enough in the triple trees, loose ball steering head bearing never serviced, frame cracks, shot swingarm bushing, rim dents or significant tire imbalance.
First place you might feel a little head shake or hinge in the middle if you have any one of those issues happening is washboard road surface during spring thaw or going over railway track crossings.
