Default Death wobble

Is it safe to go wheeling with the death wobble? I dont think it will shimmy at 2.5 mph but not sure......Anyone with experience?

I upgraded the stabilizer - really only a bandaid. I still get it on really uneven roads, but it is better for the most part. I only pucker up once a week now - rather than couple times a day. I have a trip planned for Sat and havent been out since it started.
