Wobble and weave
I am pushing my luck, but here is another video. This one about wobble and weave. Its old but I think it might be accurate.
The narrator in this video tells us that wobble only occurs if you take both hands off your handlebars.
He defines "weave" the way we define wobble. They show that wobble can only occur at high speed and that it can be controlled if the rider lays down across the tank and changes the weight distribution.
What is the best way to control wobble and weave and do you agree with what the following video says?

I disagree with most of the video. "Weave only happens over the legal limit." The legal limit varies tremendously, the laws of physics do not.
Wobble is front end. You don't have to let go of the bars to experience wobble. Tire pressure, a laced wheel with excessive lateral runout, loose steering head bearings, tight rake/trail, riding style, etc.
Weave is a rear end symptom. Vehicle alignment (usually the rear axle, but sometimes the entire powertrain), swingarm pivot shaft, tire pressure again.

What I would like to know... is the video correct? Will laying across the tank cure wobble?
