^Interesting and no doubt would break my brain for a period of time. But I think a big reason for that bike being initially unridable is the steering gearing.
Notice that very small steering inputs result in large amounts of lock, by the time your brain realises you are turning the wrong way it's too late, the wheel is basically perpendicular to the frame.
If it was direct steering you would have a much larger chance of saving the incorrect turn and counteracting.
I think you'll find the ratio is 1:1. At 43s you can see the axis line up at around 45deg, then they show a side on of the gears and if they're not exactly the same side then they're extremely close.
3:30 shows pretty huge steering inputs for very similar wheel movements.
think that is right, having tried to ride one of these once. Like the guy on the vid said, your brain takes over to correct and you end up correcting the wrong way. what makes it look worse is that you use your body to correct as well and your hands then compensate the wrong way.Quote:

how do you post videos with background music without it getting blocked from copyright?
on both facebook and youtube i had videos removed because of the background music, literally within a minute of being put up.
Video was just a slideshow of family pictures i made for the family to view.
fucking pissed me off wasting all those hours and not being able to show anyone.
Post on Vimeo?
Didn't even think of Vimeo, thanks dude.
ha, that reminds me of the westaustralian redneck's , that even when in the wrong on the road will honk and abuse you like you are a baby killer when they were the ones that thucked up.....pingpingpingpings.Quote:

Probably has something to do with this. Idiots on both sides of the road. Good headbutt though.
