And there I was hanging onto some ancient banter to stop me from buying one!

It looks like a lot of fun.

In fairness I heard stories of them starting tank slappers at 120 but it could all be down to worn tyres or a headset battered by constant wheelies. '98 would have been about the time my mates were all crashing blades though.

I have experience of the 120 tank slapper. Not the most pleasant experience. Pinned it and it stopped - more luck than anything else. When a new bike comes with a steering damper - there is a reason 😁

Not sure that it’s luck. That’s the same anecdote I got from instructor, mechanic, and someone else too. Pin it and get past the tankslap speed and it will settle.
