    …I managed to acheive this, kinda, yesterday – while descending from Snake Pass down to Glossop. Was going round one of those lovely icy armco’ed corners at about 45 mph, on the drops, when a side-cross wind thing hit me and the front wheel weaved about like crazy for what felt like an enternity, but was probably 5 seconds or so. It felt just like a typical front wheel ‘head-waggle’ on a motorbike, when putting the power down, and was absolutely poop-scary. 😯

    Just kept thinking Armco…Ice…Armco…Ice…Car behind me…Don’t come off….crap!
