Re: My New Deauville!

Thank you Geoff and thank you Mike

The guy from the dealer said that he checked head bearings. And
after I picked it up it only happened after 10-20 miles, its weird
because it wasn't there before, theres no play in the forks either,
but it does feel like the front wheel is following a railroad
track. Could it be wheel balancing? I'll also check the tyres,
they could be over-pressure (there def not under.)

Is it dangerous? Can it be left for a while until I get some money
together?

Cheers
Dave
