Man that is crazy! I hated headshake! The faster/better you get the easier it is to handle!

This is when I was still learning in the C class...

The scariest headshake I've ever experienced!

Thank 'gawd' for steering stabilizers! Easy fix is to lower the forks in the triples. Most 144/150 riders put them on the first notch of the fork tubes. If you have the linkageless suspension, I've found that softening up the rear helps a lot too. They tend to ride a bit high in the initial stage of the compression.

Yep, Wish I had kept it to put into a modern frame.
Would make a great woods bike.

Because a new 1 will set me back 13k and the 1 I had cost me $600  + $1k for a full engine build.
+ I probably don't need another bike at the moment, Well not a 13k 1 anyway. ;)
