Just took the Seca out for the first highway speed run. Topped off the gas tank and as I was leaving....noticed I forgot to zip my leather jacket all the way up (and was heading out on the highway). Took my hands off the bars to zip....and front end started shaking like crazy (30 mph maybe?). Being as this had some front end damage...was scared the forks were tweaked or something else. Once up to 75 on the highway...smooth as silk (but definitely did NOT take my hands of to test :)).

I noticed in Casper's build up thread...quite a few people mentioned lower speed head shake....so this might be normal for this bike?

Sure is a smooth riding bike...and might be the most comfortable seat I've ever been on (well, at least for the 20 mile run)
