On the third video, when the bike was shaking and led to the inevitable crash, what caused the initial shaking? The road or the rider?

That's why sometimes it's a good idea to install steering damper on your bike...

Alright, so I looked up what a tank slapper is. Fortunately, I have never had such an experience and hopefully will never have one. Here's a great explanation for anyone looking for the definition http://www.triumphrat.net/riding-and...explained.html

To a response to the second video up, I wish I could ride like that. Corner like a pro, be able to lean so nimbly all the while have complete control of the bike. Shiiiii...

Hope that you will consider that meaningful.

If my bike was actually in the ROTM it still wouldn't be meaningful.
