That's 'character' Jools-anyway, if you give it enough gas the bars don't flap-'cause the front wheels in the air.............

You never did ride the TZ did you mate?-that would have taught you a thing or two about 'Bars slapping wildly'-manic thing, out of the power band it was flat as a witches tit-in the powerband it was a total animal-HUGE fun.
Ask WJB-he always liked the steering damper turned up to stop the front twitching (shaking like a mad thing)-I prefered it turned down so I could feel what it was doing and the shakes didn't seem to bother me.
As you said above-Different strokes..................
