Title: Wobble and Weave video
Post by: Richard230 on May 16, 2016, 08:27:26 PM

Here is a Dunlop video from 1975 showing how motorcycles of the era would wobble and weave at high speeds and what to do about it (that would be gain weight and lie down on the fuel tank).  I bet you are happy that Zero and most other motorcycle manufacturers have managed to solve this little issue without you having to eat too many donuts (and you guys worry about squeaking brakes  ;)  )

Ahhh the bad old days.  This video should have been called birth of the crotch rocket.  Because rise of the crotch rocket could be misinterpreted.  Sorry bid of 7th grade humor.  The video looked very unsettling I can see why so many people crashed.

So many riders of the 1970's never lived to see the 1980's...
