...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. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

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