Good book. I've found that "RELAX" works in most situations on
motorcycles.
I've had a bit of a waggle on the ST once. Comming out of a turn onto
rough pavement, gave the throttle a wack, and off we launched down the
street with my mount shaking its head. Just let it get it out of its
system (throttle stayed on, mostly) and once I got onto smooth
pavement it settled down. Not nearly as scary as I'd thought it would
be, but then again, this wasn't quite lock to lock. Remember, the rear
wheel that's driving the show is a bloody big gyroscope!
