If you land fast and don't keep the nosewheel off shimmy is common.

Very true, and pilot was coming down the ILS a little hotter then I
do. I also think in my limited experiences (yes 7 years is limited
experience!) that the extra weight in the back passenger made the
plane sink faster then the pilot expected, but after landing, he did
the right think and pulled back on the yoke to ease the weight on the
nosewheel.

Person making comment was the student pilot :-) and had never
experienced nose wheel shimmy.
