Hmm, one of my old stage 3 LCs used to weave a bit, mind, every bearing was knackered, over size rear tyre, perished front, fork oil like treacle (probably) and riding like a complete tool might have all been contributing factors😂😅

That's fantastic news... the next time my doctor tells me I'm overweight, I'll point out that it's quite literally saving my life! 👍

Those bikes were lethal

Hello, Dunlop has paid me to say Dunlop many times.

My old 1981 Bonneville doesn't 'wobble' or 'weave'. Back in the day Japanese bikes had flexible frames, cheap suspension and utterly useless tyres. We used to call them 'teflon, non-stick tyres' because they were! The Japanese engine technology of the time, outstripped their frame and tyre technology, for many years. I think this archive piece by the great Murray Walker is more of a sales pitch from Dunlop, rather than an actual piece of riding instruction! Avon Roadrunners were much better than Dunlop's equivalent, the TT100's in any case. Cheaper and longer-lasting! Anyway, no-one can resist a bit of nostalgia! RIP Murray. Love and peace.

John and Dave must have balls of steel to ride around like that.

The vulnerability of bikers and car drivers has now been evened out, can you believe a lot of cars now have an unexploded bomb fitted under the car by the people who make the car.... seems incredible but it is government policy apparently...

I’m fairly sure any bike will want to throw you off if you’re wearing an orange dayglo oversuit 🤮

funny murry is on one of the worst handling bikes lol

What year is this from '78'/79?

I'm still riding in 2024 those days were horrendous on a bike,the improvement is now massively better.

Well. Thats beeen so informative from a real legend. Never realised weight made so much difference !

Hilarious!! Bikes from that era, particularly Jap machines were highly susceptible to handling problems, mainly due to poor frame design, poor suspension , flexible forks and weak swing arm location. I've never had a bike from the 80s onwards that wobbles or weaves, even if ridden with no hands, not that you should ever do that!! Tyre condition and pressures are very important though and so is one thing that wasn't mentioned in the film, wheel alignment. Bikes have advanced and developed so much now that handling problems are mostly a thing of the past, especially now with abs, traction and stability control and superb tyres. Having said that, my 1967 Velocette handles superbly and can be really hustled on winding roads with not even a hint of handling problems!!

This film was made with the cooperation of the Lickey Ash Motorcycle Club, Bromsgrove. The spectator shots were filmed on the embankment of the A38 @ 2:00. I know - I was one of the cast.

Tea trolly casters "trail" but front forks on the bike "lead" - I would have thought the result would be very different but I am wrong.

I notice from the end of the video, you do the conversions. Is that still the case as we have some cine footage that needs converting?

I manage to get around it by using a flip case, start recording and close it, no light then 😉 not that i record at concerts of course 🤫

Kelly Jones - гений

I remember it well , I was there somewhere 😅😅

Local boy in photograph hits so much harder acoustically. Amazing. Kelly never disappoints. Proud to be Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Never ever trust anything you see on the bbc, fake news fake science

Great work Crooksey! It's wonderful to see the fields from this perspective. The investment by Halfway Farm in the hard standing and the chaser bin is really appreciated - the road would have been caked otherwise! Thank you.

UNFORTUNATELY..this selfish me,me,me attitude nowadays people don't care about their impact..!!! 😥

240 fps iPhone slomo wasn't enough to resolve my EOS R's shutter, so here I am haha. Thanks. Where'd you find that Olympus HS camera? I can't find much info about it online. Seems like a neat tool.

Excellent posting !! Bravo !! Rj Brasil

Here's a story I have with a Seagull. It was 2019, I was on holiday until I noticed a Seagull laying on the floor, motionless. So I took the Seagull, since the Vet's were closed I had to care for the Seagull And on the same night I set her free, j went crab fishing at the harbour. And she came back to visit me as I recognised the mark on her head.

Old but still gold. Thanks for this! To add based on my experience: Busted wheel bearing. On my first bike, it just starts wobbling at around 40kph until I was able to figure out that the issue was with one of the front wheel's 2 bearings. Also, a tip on adding heavy load or topboxes at the rear, if you feel any weaving at high speed, try adding some preload on your rear shock(s), little by little, until the weaving disappears at the max speed you're comfortable riding with.

One of the most beautiful male voices in rock music.

This is old but still true, had a top box on my DR yesterday with about 30 lbs in it and it started weaving at 70, 65 was fine, it was never an issue until I put new tires on, rain grooves were the cause, no worries on regular pavement. Say what you want about Trailwings, they're great on the road. Hard to do the speed limit when everyone else wants to do 80-90.

Beautiful - well done. I love it.

I was there to see Songbook being recorded and I had goosebumps from start to finish. He's an amazing singer and storyteller. I had to travel over 300 miles to see him, but tickets were only £5 and there was NO WAY I was passing up on seeing Kelly Jones for £5 😂😍🥰🤩

I don’t believe this is true. I don’t think that it is “normal” for bikes to weave or wobble, or that all bikes do it. I’m now riding a 2022 Triumph T120. For the first 2,000 plus miles, it ran with no wobble at all. Then, it developed a slight wobble when decelerating between 50 and 45 mph. My previous three motorcycle didn’t wobble at all for the entire time I owned them. None of my bikes ever exhibited weave behavior. I think it has to be subtle design issues, perhaps coupled with tire wear or other minor maintenance issues, that causes wobble. It is clearly obvious to me that a new bike, properly designed, and properly set up, will run with no wobble and no weave. That being the case, older bikes should be fixable not to do that either.

Would love to see that picture

I had a weave causing me to crash while i was doing the speed limit (120 km per ours) in Belgium accually

"Use the superior performance of your machine to keep OUT of trouble instead of getting into it." Well put!

What a talented human being!!!

I still find it hard to believe our beloved queen is gone. The promise she made to dedicate her whole life to our service in that famous broadcast from Cape Town in 1947 was one she kept until the very end. Her Majesty's legacy and place in history is well deserved and she surely has to be considered one of the greatest figureheads to have ever lived. The torch has been passed to King Charles III and it represents the continuation of 1000 years of monarchy. God Save the King.

Saw him in the Usher Hall in Edinburgh a dozen years or more ago - a pre tour concert , and he played non stop for nearly three hours. Fabulous , even if I was the oldest one in the audience!

These are great for animation references, thanks so much for posting!!!

The wobble explanation was non existent. It didn't explain how wobble begins instantly and uncontrollably with hands on the bars.

We Americans can be super friendly. 🤭

They probably deleted that picturebwoth some random woman

We will miss you , Ma'am ❤😪

Grazie ❤️

This Lady was amazing and always will.Shes special.All the best from Poland.We all loves Queen.

Hilarious!

I would have loved to have raced on the original road circuit, horrendously dangerous though it was. I have ridden the modern circuit many times and Eau Rouge still remains a real, 5* star thrill. Here's a film shot from our Manx Norton: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bofMdXhtnL6CftE

Is this in miles or kilometer per hour
