Front End Shimmy

I’ve ridden a Litespeed for the past seven years. I’ve recently purchased a Specialized Tarmac. I’ve noticed that when I ride the litespeed for a few days then switch to the Tarmac the next day, I will develop a front end shimmy on the Tarmac. The shimmy seems to be early on the ride then starts letting up after a few miles. I’m sure its me but why? If I ride the Tarmac on consecutive days I do not get the shimmy. Could it be that the Tarmac has a more sensitive front end and it takes me a little time to adjust? I've had the bike checked.

Yes, I think that might be it. I have experienced similar changes when riding the different bicycles we have.
Each bicycle has it's own mechanical responses which the rider can "enhance" in dampening.... or not.

I think I found part of my problem.
