An impulse like that contains many high frequency components - actually many of all frequencies - of which some were at a sensitive part of the frames frequency response and an oscillation starts.
it’s an excellent example both of how any bike is susceptible and how it can become uncontrollable for even the best riders.
thoughts and prayers out to Chloe. One of my favorite riders. Hoping for a quick and complete recovery.
