Hi All,
While riding my Python today I was thinking about steering dampers, while
watching the front part I noticed sometimes I had to move very quick to
correct a wobble. I guess as I get better I will have to move less.
Imagine someone learning to ride an upright bike, moving the handlebars
sometimes very quickly to try & keep balance, put a damper on it and they
would not be able to ride, I'm quite sure the same can be said for the
Python, for a beginner, without the ability to make quick movements they
will not be able to balance.
Regards, Carl
