Motorcycle Rider Balance for High Speed Turns

For those who own or race street bikes you know that the rider becomes one with the bike and together you make those high-speed turns. But what happens when you leave the ground? No I am not talking about going off the cliff near the Rock Store in the Canyons above Malibu, CA, what I am suggesting really is turning our motorcycle into an aircraft.


What you say? I thought this was a legitimate online article. Oh, but it is my good friend and fellow rider, it is indeed. You see I want to take a lightweight motorcycles, perhaps an F3 Honda Hurricane a strap on some extra equipment. Such as a propeller adapter and an expandable wing using the exhaust to blow it up. Okay now you know I am serious and do not tell me you have not thought of this, because all these bikes are missing is wings, obviously they can fly.


To maintain rider balance in high speed aerial turns you will need to have a strap harness incase you go negative “Gs” in a flight maneuver you do not want to fall off and you will have to work with the bike and the gyro affect when turning and keep the skidding to a minimum, but this can be done better and better with practice, although you must never forget once you leave the ground you no longer have that friction to keep you in place, things are different up here.
