Wobble!!! newbie input

[markpenn1]

Folks; newbie to nomads; but not to scooters. The " death wobble" that some people have referred to has been an on going problem/fact for years and one could probably spend years reading about it. Don't believe me; go to the gold wing forums; sit back and start mouse'in! Both the 1500's and newer 1800's have had the wobble since birth. Some experience more than others and then some not at all and mostly on decel.. I imagine there's a million reasons why; but final conclusion with some of the so called experts; KEEP BOTH HANDS on the grips!; and especially on decel. Easy huh; well one forgets from time to time; twitching with this and that; then all of a sudden up pops the dreaded wobble with great surprise. First thought; " what the H---!! and you want to hit the brakes. They claim not to do that and try to throttle through it. Well I'm here to tell ya that's easier said than done! Your second thought, I'm going down if this doesn't stop real soon. SOooo my first and last time the wobble hit me I was on my Gold Wing 1500 just turning off main hwy. to Bryce Canyon. I excel-ed a little; but then decided to reach down grab for my water bottle in the cup holder with the left hand; lid got stuck, so I reached over with the right hand quickly to get unstuck. Of course this just took nano seconds; but time for the scooter to decel and go into the dreaded wobble. To this day I don't what I did to recover; but I'm still pulling vinyl out where it doesn't belong. I thought this might shed some light on the folks that think there is something wrong with there nomads. Note: a lot of $$ has been made from bearing changes/adjustments; tire replacements; frame inspections; rear wheel/swing arm alignments; etc;etc;etc.. looking for the dreaded "death wobble".
