Watch a MotGP race or an AMA Superbike race and you'll see why steering dampers are used and also what causes them to be necessary. If the front end is light (due to stupendess amounts of HP) and you hit a bump that causes a steering deflection, the oscillation, "Tank Slapper" is enivitable... unless of course you have hydraulic elbows.
