heres to that.
Some have commented that shimmy can be stopped by STANDING off the saddle...this is interesting because I have experienced shimmy at lower speeds (~35mph) that occured while I was out of the saddle decending. The shimmy was rectified by my SITTING down in the saddle. Go figure. I guess it just shows that it's a complicated phenomina.
Also, regarding shivering causing it, I experienced this several weeks ago, but I didn't attribute it to the same physics; I mean, duh, if the RIDER is shaking, of course the bike will shake.
In any case, neither episode of mine was as crazy as my friends 60mph shimmy. What an eye opener for him
