Guys I've posted a couple of new pictures - one is of the so-called "dead- stop"; in this pic, it's been removed and is rested on the OUTSIDE of the bracket,...
Umm, yes well ... that would be because it seems the pictures were too big for the Yahoo server to accept them; I've sent them to a local friend who...
I have only ridden a Flexit one time and it was a lot of fun.(Thanks to Flexitdave) I do wonder though what happens when the lean of the bike is maxed out?...

Nam, Thanks . Understeer typically means the front end is sliding. Is this what you mean here? Claude nam <nam65@...> wrote: You realize that you are in an...
So can it be described as somewhat how a solo bike acts when you begin to drag various parts from too great of a lean angle? It just will not go over any more...

Interesting that Frank had witnesses. I'd heard of it happening, but this is the closest I've got to talking to someone who's seen it. Wonder if I've done it...
... some getting used to. The sensation is it won't turn any more. I think that with it "rigid" against the stops, the steering goes from counter-steered to...
On 2 occasions I was into a hairpin 20mph posted doing maybe 30, left & right, steering was not an option, not enough time to think, backing off saved the day,...
