Re: how to corner dutch stylee
Nice to see they are adhering to the proper safety equipment too. It's always best to have a small boy handy so you can throw them under you and have a soft landing in the event of an accident.
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
Re: how to corner dutch stylee
Skill or what Of course I wouldn't condone that sort of thing It's one way to stop the rear tyre giving away I'm guessing,

Re: how to corner dutch stylee
I had an outfit a few years back- Triumph 650 with a single open chair on.
It's surprisingly easy to lift and hold the chair but the first time it happens it's quite a shock!
And the spoked wheels take a lot of side loading- it's easy to break spokes, or even collapse a wheel. I just fitted heavier gauge spokes...
Never tried knee down, though.
Did once try to lift the chair over a bollard- didn't get it high enough, that was funny, stopped real sudden and left stranded.
You can also get the rear wheel off the deck by cornering the other way too tightly- that's also a laugh, if you don't pull the clutch in, as engine speed increases as soon as the wheel's off the ground and as it lands it spins up....
Sidecars are a right laugh, but tbh they're the worst of both worlds- you can't filter but you still get wet when it rains.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Same goes for Trike's, I could never understand anyone owning them unless they didn't have a bike licence or was an challenged in some way.tony.mon wrote: but tbh they're the worst of both worlds- you can't filter but you still get wet when it rains.
But upping a three wheeler isn't hard, I should know I done it accidently on a few occasions when I owned a Robin reliant because I never had a car licence.
