    yes but the engine has to pull both the bike's extra weight and the weight of big bertha butt, you know she's one of the butt sisters.... right?

    Interesting that it was the rear shocks that caused the wobble. Don't understand how that could happen unless they were just loose.

    Anyway, we all know that people are heavier because they eat more fat, sugar and junk food than they used to. But mostly, they just EAT MORE!:rolleyes:

    Franchises like McDonald's that have gone global have slipped their tentacles around the whole world's arteries . . . . now everybody can get fat and sick . . . .

    Yep... came in with bald tires could go 130mph perfectly smooth, after put front and back at 85 - 90 front end started wobbleing like a gyroscope going out of balance.
    Not cool when you blast in front of a crowd after being boxed in just to find you start doing the watusi dance in front of them all!..... LOL!

    Anyway, the mechanic put it back in the air and rotated the tire and the front was ever so slightly out of round.. you could see it.. not obvious but there.

    I suppose the shocks mask it till it finally goes faster than the shock can respond causing the energy to be added to the spin of the tire causing a positive feedback loop.

    Getting a brand new tire tomorrow and trying it again... hope that fixes it.....
