I guess because they pour the roadway in panels or something? The 605 through Los Alamitos heading north is one stretch that comes to mind. Anyway, it gets annoying and even scarey at higher speeds with such a light bike.

Yes, the "ripple", I felt that. Sometimes I felt little skid when the bike was on those things.
I really wanted little bit bigger (wider) wheels especially for the back wheel while I riding on the freeways.

Is it O.K. to replace with wider wheels on GZ250?? (or possible??)
If possible I want to replace with it at next wheel maintenance.
