I think our bikes have a balance issue. I've had a Speedy and now an america and both bikes rear kicks out to the right if the.rear tire is locked while braking hard.




I've only locked the rear wheel once, and she kicked out to the left.

The only reason I can think of for us to be different is that we ride on opposite sides of the road, and the roads chamber is deciding which way she kicks.

That's just a guess, which could easily turn out to be a great big dollop of bovine poo

I'm not sure Bryn.
I only locked mine up once in an emergency stop too, and it kicked out to the right.
We drive on the left in Australia as well.
