Ok, so I went and did it in the rain anyway... stupid weather.

First attempt: Nothing 50 down to 40, rock steady. I had just shifted up though and so RPMs were kinda low. Just throwing that out there.

2nd attempt: Is that a wiggle? Might have been a wiggle... ****, I'm focusing on the bars and my weight is shifted and the bike is turning... wtf is that car doing? Why in hell am I doing internet experiments in the rain during rush hour? Definitely wouldn't have described it as a wobble.

I'm about 140-150lbs if we're data gathering. Shock setting 2. Pressure in tires probably down 1-2 psi since I'm slack and haven't checked lately.

3rd attempt: I was on my wife's 250cc scooter... OMFG, do not let go of the bars on a scooter!!!!! Seriously. That was most surprising. Slapslapslapslap.

Couple of asides: Gah, I knew this wasn't originally in Tech!

and Woot, raining like mad again and I brought the gloves.... and the pants are still at home b/c it never rains on the way to work.
