My wire wheels have been perfectly balanced for the last 10K miles,   smooth
motoring up to  the UK legal maximum, 70mph.( but not beyond of course)

Last week I took a slightly cambered 110' right turn at full chat in 4th gear,
( motorway  spur road) and for  the next mile or so, I had to slow right down
as thought I was riding on cobbles, with severe rear end and some steering
vibration.
Then slightly alarmed ..speeded up on the straight and she rode as smooth as
silk again.

I put it down to slack spokes, and wheels temporarily distorting under lateral
G.

Clearly something needs attention, does anyone recognise the symptoms, if I am
right  is it a home job or one for the experts?

TIA
