Yep, It from that front wheel coming off the ground and the natural gyro getting disturbed. Did you have a steering damper on the bike??
Nice to see you are healing.

Damn semi rutts will cause it too. I hit one on I-30 one night, the front wheel went into the rut and then all hell broke loose. I was only going 65 and im not sure if I hammered the throttle or what but some how I came out of it and had to pull over and gather my senses. Tankslappers ****!
