Toby, check your front tyre for age and scolloping. If it is getting scolloped it will cause this. I have had it before. 2 different bikes have done it. New tyres have fixed it both times. But check your brakes and head bearings etc.

Check your zip & get it repaired if ness. Then you wont have to take your hands off the bars in the first place... :thumbup:
