almost like a speed wobble but not really 7 Months, 1 Week ago  
I finally got to ride to work this am,,,what a thrill.
Going down the hwy at about 110KM/HR or about 65 mph a big rig blew by me going allot, I mean allot faster.....
When he pulled back in - too close I thought, inconsiderate at least, my handlebars started wobbling about 2" both ways but not a fast wobble.. The bike was running smoothe like glass, running true with no vibrations or anything else.

I figure his turbulants grabbed my wind shield. It has never happened to me before on any bike. Oh ya the front end felt lite. Woke me up at 0600 hrs tho.

Any other explanation???

That sounds reasonable. I've been pretty blown around by Hauling tractors before (guys doing 25-30 mph better than me on the freeway , me 70 him 95-100), and had to recover. Some folks just don't get it.....Glad you're OK , though. BB
