If it was me I would check the prop bearings especially if you can smell a burning rubbery smell.Try lifting up the back axle and spinning the wheels to see if maybe one tyre has gone out of shape.Ive had this before.

I get it on a cold and damp morning. I just assume it was a little bit of clutch slip and haven't worried.

After a few minutes of pulling off and stopping around our horrendous streets - it stops :D

@harrier check the tyres for bulges especially the inside edge...or get the wheel balanced as that will show up any buckles or bulges much easier..
@matthew more than likely wheel spin on inside wheel when going round corners
