ABSTRACT:
A motorbike stabilizing device consisting of outriggers extending on both sides of the bike and connected pivotally and independently to the frame of the bike. A wheel is mounted near the tips of both structures which runs along the ground. An actuating lever located on the handlebars allows the rider to control the lean angle of the bike as it goes through a corner at various speeds and corner radii. The lever actuates a pneumatic cylinder which is connected to both structures keeping them firmly planted on the ground and allows the lean angle of the bike to be selected.
The invention assists the rider to overcome the natural fear of steep lean angles, the fear of quick or sudden turns and the fear of losing traction. The rider learns to lean his body with the bike in a turn, thus lowering the center of gravity of the bike/rider combination which creates the most stable conditions. The rider learns to set the correct turn radius as quickly as possible, so further corrections which create instability are not needed. Use of the invention quickly increases the rider's ability to predict the bike's path through a corner, thus increasing his safety and stability.
