It's a rare occasion when I get stuck behind a queue of traffic for any length of time but recently I was in such a situation for about 25 minutes. It wasn't possible to do a 'white line' sprint overtaking because the A road (UK) in question was very narrow and there was a lot of oncomming traffic. So it was start-stop until the road was clear. I had a Kawasaki rider beside me and as the traffic pulled forward then stopped he could keep a really good straight line at slow speed. It took me by surprise how hard it is to do this with my 2011 America.
I have ridden bikes for years and my last bike, a Honda Shadow 750 could very easily maintain a straight line at slow speed. I cannot figure out why it is that this bike should be so hard to do this. Any thoughts on this guys?

Honda Shadow Aero has a 34 degree rake!!! SOO if America and Speedmaster has 33 degree would that not mean it SHOULD be EASIER on a Speedmaster or America?? 
I would have to say the center of gravity of an Honda Shadow Aero is lower which helps along with a fatter shorter front tire which could also HELP IMO 
Triumph being a taller riding more top heavy sure doesn't help!!
OR this means you like you Triumph MORE and is scared that you will drop it?? 
OR your riding skills have gone DOWN HILL?? And more practice is NEEDED?? 
Are we there YET? I gotta go pee!!
