Clever concept though....wonder how much they're asking for one?.
Not my cup of tea but this idea has been tried and tested before.

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

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Re: No, I don't want one for Christmas
Even though it's not exactly going to replace a motorcycle as we know it, it is still a very clever design IMHO.
Who can remember a Top Gear episode from a long time ago where Jeremy Clarkson tested something similar to look at as this one, although nothing to stop it falling over other than an arm that automatically popped out each side just before it came to a stop. Both arms had a small wheel on the end of them.
The one he road tested was driven by a woman and he was a back seat passenger (yes a two seater), I have a feeling the pilot was German, at least foreign.
Can anyone remember that if so find any info on it
