I never do this but for the sake of this thread I decelerated from 70 M.P.H. to stop with my hands off the bars and between 35 and 40 M.P.H. I got a little headshake (wobble) and nowhere else in the speed range. What am I going to do about it? Nothing, I never ride with my hands off the bars and don't notice it when I don't.
