Thank you Norm for expressing my exact feelings so well !!  Jeff Saline and Martin Earl are people whom it is a privilege to know, if only on line.  

Jay Leno's Garage featuring, "Tilting Motor Works Leaning Trikes"A different kind of three wheel bike worth looking at; Leno seems impressed. https://youtu.be/T3TumQ-ueMU Like to hear what you think; the author says it is completely plug and play. martinearl.

Great idea but certainly not revolutionary. Apparently they never heard of Piaggio: http://www.piaggio.com/mp3/en_EN/> Eric  "Good judgment comes from experience.

Great idea, at least you get that airplane-banking feeling as with a 2-wheeler.  I didn t catch whether they said what the limited of lean is; the mechanism must have physical limits.  I did hear the inventor say he could drag the floorboards, but the two-wheel versions probably drag pretty early too. Here s a comparo with a Can-Am Spyder F3-T, and a Piaggio MP-3:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWyCH7DjQzU

You know, it's kinda cool particularly if you have physical impairment that prevents you from riding any more. Major downside is that you'd have to have own a Harley to start with

I submit that if you leaned one over far enough (mechanical stop or not) you would have a two wheeler...however squirrely it might be, until you fall over and have to change your underware. Perhaps there is no need for a mechanical lean stop...it may be a self-correcting issue. Randy Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: "'James W.

You may drag pipes or pegs, but the front end won t hit a mechanical stop. These TMWs must have that, they couldn t be built without it.
