Very true. Sometimes when you get one side aligned, the other side goes out like a "tar baby".

When I check alignment I look for the head and seat tubes to be parallel, the rear wheel to be equidistantly spaced both vertically and horizontally in the rear triangle plus aligned parallel with the seat tube. Same thing with the fork and front wheel.
