I high-sided three times on my bike, which has the same result as motor lock-out except you get a good idea when it's coming, and,if you're quick, you can throttle back and avoid it.
Just a note on this coming from an ex-motorcycle club racer.
Completely cutting the throttle actually makes a highside much more likely.
As you mentioned, the problem comes when it grips again.
If you wanted to be sure to avoid a highside, you could of course do so by provoking a low side and throttling ON harder - guarenteeing the rear wheel shouldn't regain traction.
Of course that's a tad counter-intuitive and still doesn't lead to a great result.
Generally what's needed is either to keep the throttle in the same place (presuming it's not wide open), as a rear slide on a bike is naturally self-correcting, or come off a little bit to correct.
Comming off all the way tends to mean that when the rear regains traction it's now going much slower than the road.
I've been lucky in that while I've had a few highsides while club racing, only one I've actually 'crashed' from and even then I'm not sure it counts - the bike threw me up and I landed on front of the tank/bars. I then rolled off to land on the floor. The bike, oblivious, carried on in a straight line and came to rest against a hay bale - so technically didn't actually manage to 'crash' despite disposing of the rider

. (Other ones have been small enough that while I've been thrown up, I've landed on the tank and just had to take a second to recompose myself.)
