What are the effects of this while riding?

I'm getting serious vibration through the bars, and if I leave go of the bars they shake violently as if it's about to kick me into a tank slapper.

Just wondering how much of an affect it would have on my riding because it feels like my riding has gone to shit in the last couple of weeks.

Edit: BTW:Need a new front it's worn past the tread.

Thanks for your help guys ha ha.

I was more wondering what would happen in the corners? Like would it affect stability a lot?

Have no confidence in the bike at the moment.

You're almost as bad as Johnathan Leggard, ask Brundle a question and answer it before Brundle can reply.

Go get it changed asap.

I had a squared of front which made it quite fun to ride. I also wanted fron bearings. Once i changed them it was like a new bike.
There is a point on the tyre where the wear ends, you dont feel like you lean over on the bends, feels more like fall over.
