- Mark Twain I check the comments on this blog regularly. The idea is that we're going to have a conversation about the ideas I've presented. You should be aware of the fact that when someone emails me an interesting comment, the odds are good that I'll post that in the comments anonymously and reply to that comment on the blog rather than in email.

The gyro cam they use occasionally is awesome too. It stays flat with the horizon while the bike and rider lean nearly 60 degrees. awesome stuff.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like this bike is pushing a lot more than 60 degrees.
