Omg no!
The way to fix a death wobble is Speed up!
Contradict force will pull the bike back into balance. Slow down or brake is a guaranteed crash
I always read positive comments about Keeanu, but thus is the first time I’ve actually listened to him just talking and I have to admit that it’s all true. Definitely a genuine, down to earth, regular guy. Not putting on appearances .
More than a few of the Big Twins (Honda VTX was notorious in the 1300 Config, and some 1800’s) for steering bearings to wear out and cause that wobble.
The wave, as explained to me, was also, in addition to being a friendly wave, was meant to say: keep two wheels down, brother (sister).
If you like mountains, ride WV!
4:10 “Get Off Your Phone!!!” Seriously, get TF off your phone if you’re driving. You put yourself and other drivers/riders in danger and it’s careless. Just be a responsible occupant of the road.
Just remember, when you pass a trike you put 3 fingers down.
🤣
I’ve had the same Ducati Monster 900 custom for 11 years and I am just excited to ride it every spring as the last.
Breathtaking.
How fast can U get here on one my king
I need to be taught to tide one can U help teach me please only U can
I thought this was Keanu and RDJ, Robert Downey Jr, who had a sore throat or something at first.
The chemistry between these two dudes is unmatchable
Does the sissy bar have to be tall or does any back rest count?
Now they have me thinking😂
Death wobble needs a steering dampened like a shock, you can have a mechanic put it in.
Death wobble can be fixed by replacing you’re Harley with a different brand
A lot of times death wobble can be caused by a front tire out of balance…
For a tank slapper (a form of high speed wobble), relax, let it do it’s think, and it should come out of it. Just be calm and remember you’re riding a giant gyro that just wants to keep upright or at the angle it is.
Good video but the answers are pretty bad
Hey to both of U
X and Y don’t answer questions.
