Yikes!  sounds dangerous - experimenting with violent shakes at 80 mph. 
If tapping the brakes makes it stop I'd worry 1. about the brakes not
being tight somehow, then 2. what other thing it might be that is
obviously out of whack.  Wheel bearing?  

whatever it is seems to require high speed to set it off.  I presume it
goes away if you slow down also?  Or does it not go away until you tap
the brakes?
