RE: NOT Surviving the streets... - curlyjoe - 07-01-2017
The guy taking the video said they paced him for 5-10 miles and the guy almost lost control 5 or six times but only at higher speeds. It was a weird 360 though.
Click on the title of the video and it will take you to youtube where you can read the comments made by the guy who took the video.

Now i've experienced tank slappers before, even recently on my CB, fixed now, but never this bad.

ATGATT has a new poster child.

Surely that was some kind of mechanical failure? Flat tire, loose wheel axle?

I've had a few bikes that developed wobbles like that. It was always something like a bad tire, damaged wheel, steering head bearings, etc... If everything on the front end is not tight and balanced, it's almost inevitable that you'll get some kind of wobble at speed. Continuing to ride at freeway speeds with the bars shaking like that is just asking for trouble.
