Ok, someone in the know, isn't there anything they can do engineering wise about the death wobble?? Seems it's the cause of 98% of the motorcycle crashes I've seen, (and been in).

I love the transition in perspective between "rider on a bike" to "helmet-cam on a dude".

I don't think there's anything you can do about tank-slappers, Enzoblue. It's a function of the caster, or trail effect of the front wheel. A steering damper can help, as can adjusting the fork height in the triple-clamps by a few millimeters, but if you can steer it, it can wobble. I think it actually comes from the rider's arms anyway. The only way I've ever gotten out of them was by accelerating hard and loosening my grip on the bars.
