I think you can ride slowly. Riding fast on highway may not be safe. I think you can try and check until how fast you can ride smoothly.

best way to explain it is if you have a cyle wheel, if so hold the axle and get someone to spin the bugger realy fast then turn it from side to side.
You should have done this at school.
now all you have to do is add some weight to one side youll notice it trys to lean that way as if the wheel is oval.
you have to remember that it has less effect because the wheel is narrow,
your motorbike will be ok at slow speeds and then shake the living crap out of you at fair to high speeds
dont do it mate, or as another option, mark on the side of the tyre the exact place the weight is, remove it carefully then after adding the rim tape glue it back on
