why you not doing wibby wobbly SB?

I will be taking it easy as i have pillion and last time I did it the front end kept going all horrible when the wheels were off the ground. so different to SV and it will take a bit of geting used to.

anyway tony, along wibbly wobbly to pit stop pause briefly then turn round and do it back again?

what about you rab? it will be a fantastic road on that new machine of yours.

you said
"I will be taking it easy as i have pillion and last time I did it the front end kept going all horrible when the wheels were off the ground. so different to SV and it will take a bit of geting used to. "

My rap used to do that, the Baines link for the rear suspension totally fixed it.
Cheers
