Thursday's got a curse for you...

Wind, road surface, suspension settings...lots of things. It originates from the front tyre though. Something about the front tyre oscillating on the turning plane, starting small and amplifying very quickly into a wobble with little warning. Steering dampers come factory on a lot of supersports to reduce or prevent it.

Also called a tank slapper because the handlebars literally go from full lock left to right, sometimes contacting the fuel tank.

hmmmmm..... you learn something new everyday.

It's a cruiser though...so comfortable and economical rather than sports position and quick...

Will still do 140 with enough road...not that I've tested this

Birds, stahp! Making me jump on bike sales again!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

they take an aston martin, lexus lfa and viper to drag strip in america. Race against modified cars, one being a modified evo 7/8?

sigh... so what was the outcome...not that it matters as all top gear challanges are 100% staged...

I gues what i mean is which trip were they on this time?

the "nothing is as good as an overpriced itallian supercar trip?

the "look how a cheap car with a few mods can be faster than a supercar but it's just not somfortable enough to live with trip?

or the "look at how japan is trying to take on the euro cars, sure it's faster in all aspects but we are still going to say the euro is the better choice trip?

how do u stop it mid wobble.

crashing seems to be the usual method

[blah_blah]

hmm interested probably, will see hao mut cny money i gets.

Mmmm Cny money

Isn't most of your family overseas though?

Why all the hate for Top Gear?

The cars look and sound amazing... I don't give a crap if the reviews are bias etc, I'm not going to be buying a supercar in the next decade anyway...

I find them teh funny and their trips to africa / vietnam / south america are awesome

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Why all the hate for Top Gear?

because it's season 11ty billion and every episode is just the same 3 guys having the same whinge about the new models of the same cars

[Odium]

It may be just me, but I don't give a crap about the cars that they show/review... If you want to see BAD top gear, then watch Top Gear Australia or Top Gear America They actually tried to replace the three guys, yet keep the exact same kind of banter... It's so robotic it's gag worthy...

[CrispyFries]

I prefer the US version to the Aus version - less utes
