I fixed the "Wobble of Death" and ended up in a Cemetery!

Recumbent trike riders as well as motorcyclists can experience the "Wobble of Doom," also known as the "Wobble of Death," or the "Tank Slapper," and that's when the front wheels wobble violently left and right, potentially causing loss of control.

I had fixed this problem awhile back with an inexpensive motorcycle steering damper but for this video disconnected my fix and managed to capture this phenomenon on four different cameras.

After re-attaching the steering damper, I took a short ride up the hill behind the church to the Pleasant View Cemetery to enjoy the view and visit some of the graves.
As usual, if you dig this sorta recumbent trike tank-slapping content, go ahead and click the like and subscribe. It helps me decide which kind of videos to make in the future, and somehow helps the algorithm do its thing.
