Steve Jones had a problem with nose wheel shimmy in flight. Several RV pilots have had the same problem. Do you have wheel pants on the nose wheel?

About 4 1/2 hours into the flight to Florida a couple weeks ago I started getting a vibration. It would come and go at will, sometimes very light and others times enough to make the needles shake in the instruments. It would last from a second to maybe 10 seconds and only happened at airspeeds above 145 mph. On the way home It became more often but after a while I decided the plane wasn't falling apart and just kept going. There were stretches that it didn't happen for a half hour or more. The engine was running flawlessly-there was absolutely no indication in the instruments. It feels like it is coming from the front of the plane. I checked the cowl and front and side wheel pants and they are all tight. There was nothing visible from the cockpit that was vibrating. The only other thought that I had was the nose wheel spinning which could be related to speed. I know that I didn't get real fussy with balance on the front tire when I changed it last summer. Any other thoughts or experiences???.
