I agree. I've had my Ambo up to 90 on the speedo, absolutely solid with no
wobble whatsoever. This was on 16" tires front and back.

I've had a new Eldo, and I'm on my second used Ambo. I've cruised at 90 on
both Ambo's and the Eldo would do the 119 that the owner's manual stated.
I've never had a wobble at any speed. I've even shook the bars on purpose at
diferent speeds, and couldn't cause a wobble. Personally, I've never ridden
any bike that felt so much like it was on rails.

Subject: Loopframe Wobble

I read in Greg Fields book, and just had a reminder in the latest
newsletter, about the strange trouble that a few of the Ambo/Eldos had with
a high speed wobble. Since I am new to Guzzis, did anyone ever figure out
what caused this, and is there any fix? How common was this? Also, being as
I am getting my Eldo ready for the season, is there anyway to tell if my
bike is one of the wobblers without getting into trouble? Is the wobble
similar to a tank slapper, or is it more subtle?

Thanks,
Tim
