I am getting this weird pull to the left when riding down the road. Its not all the time. It happens, then it stops, then it happens again. Its really noticable, not like "oh i can deal with this", more like "(*&$* this is going to get me killed!". Any one have any ideas?

Is your rear axle aligned and tight? Steering head OK? Swinging arm bushes in good shape and lubed? Wheel bearings OK? That pretty much covers everything but a cracked frame. I'd definitely track that one down fast.
