Cruiser wandering all over the road ?

Bought a used "Realm" Cruiser that wonders all over the road. Checked everthing and regreased all bearings. Set the headset bearing up. Still all over the place. it has big nobby tires could that be it?
All help appreciated ,

Probably not the tires. You sure the headset bearings are right? (Installed correctly, not too tight? When you pick up the front of the bike by the frame, the wheel should freely flop to the side...)

Could also be the steerer bent backwards; that would mess up your stability! (Don't ask me how I know)

"Could also be the steerer bent backwards"

I guess that means the "Rider" Sure could be after years of riding Motorcycles and back issues.
