Tank slapper bent my rear brake lever
#25
I've only had a high speed wobble once in my life.

Coming into my home town, rounding a big sweeping curve, entering about 90mph on my 1973 CB350 at night with my friend on my tail in his yellow VW.

We would race alot and those two were about equal in speed. ;-)

It was a rear wheel wobble for me, pretty scary but I came out of it and lived to ride another day ;-)

I always thought it was because I unweighted the rear wheel de-accelerating coming into that curve that caused it.

I've always said, getting married probably saved my life!
