Guys, Last night I rode from Milwaukee to Chicago with the wife on the back on the bike. And the bike rode smooth as hell no wobble or front stability issues. Last week coming back from strugis bike was unstable and even got the tank slapper at 90. Last night didn't get up to 90 but did get to 85 and no issues. I am starting to wonder if having the extra 130 makes the difference. I know the wind and road makes a difference but not sure if there could be anything else to look at. Shocks??

 

Personally, when I eat a LOT, I notice a substantial increase in my wobble, but that's just when I walk! LOL!!!

 

Hmmm... so your bike will go into a tank slapper at 90 mph riding solo and you decide, without fixing anything, to toss your wife on back and try it again? Ah, love is a many splendored thing..

 

I usually get a wobble going on when I drink too much!

 

What's the cause of those tank-slappers anyway? I've heard of them and few things sound more terrifying... Anyone know the reason?

 

I ain't saying my woman causes no 'tank slap'. I would get a new woman...or at least get rids of the one I gots before i said she causes tanks slap.
Either ends, Gonna get a slaps fo sho.

You can do this in the mean time. Check your head bearings for proper torque.

 

Mine is also way better with two of us! Go figure their award wining geometry!

 

Precisely what I thought when I read his post!
