Serious wobble.
Pucker factor extremely high. Following some other riders on the Interstate and a semi in the right lane couldn't make up his mind about what he was doing so apparently we needed to be ahead of him. Others had made it by OK but as I was passing A serious wobble developed. Excessive speed? Yes but I've been there before with the car tire and with the air dams ( technically bar chaps). Don't think with both at the same time though. New front tire with a few hundred miles on it already. It is bias and the rear is radial. Didn't think it was an issue, hmm. It was a dip and it was a curve but being interstate , neither was sharp. Could have hit a groove or a bump. Could have been turbulence from the truck in addition to the air dam. I obviously managed to ride it out or I may not have been making this report. Kept it below 80 the rest of the trip with no problems. Didn't bother to try to keep up. I knew where I was going.
Constructive ponderings are welcome. Don't care to be in this situation again. Sometimes there is a need for speed and I want it when I need it.
