Once a thread has served it's purpose, wandering about on side roads is normal, expected, pretty near unavoidable.

I was having a wobble problem at 65+ the last day of the trip. Yesterday I was wobbling at 55+. Checked my tire pressure -- front was 25psi, down from the proper 29. Proper tire inflation pressure is extremely important on a motorcycle.

Great story thread Palladin - thank you for your detail in telling of the trip.
You might want to investigate an Air Hawk Seat pad - they are about 150 bucks but solved my sore butt issue on my Savage on longer rides.
What does the super brace accomplish?

I have done a couple fo 2,000 mile tours on my Savage and totally agree with the ideas you are expressing about simplicity and ease of riding which both make the Savage a winnter on a trip like yours

Keep it in the wind!

As noted in the 7" headlight thread, I'm a cheapskate. A $150 pad is not in the works. I've heard good things about a simple piece of sheepskin. Quote:

Tightens up the front suspension.
