I think that most handling and stability problems are a combination of factors, shocks, tyres, steering joints, wheel alignment etc. The light front end and "fast" rack certainly don't help. I had one or two exciting moments driving to the Wobbly Wheel in heavy rain, although overtaking a convoy of five Triumph Stags perhaps wasn't such a good idea

I put it down to the cheap rear tyres, and the fact that they're the wrong size, 185/70 instead of 195/70. Titus's experience could be down to the fact that the weather was cooler on the return trip and perhaps the tyre pressures were a bit lower.
