Has anyone produced the path that a front wheel travels with Bramptons? My understandng is that there is less travel and a restorative force as the spring is captive at both ends and so can pull as well as push. As for Mike T's experience with Marcus' bike, I had the same behaviour on my first bike when I was 16. The bike was an ex-WD 350 side valve Royal Enfield and with a hundred weight bag of cement on the rear carrier it did just the same, Not enough weight on the front end. Marcus is obviously used to it. Mike T wasn't.
