ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle or the like is provided with parallel telescoping tubes forming part of an inclined front fork assembly straddling the front wheel. The wheel is mounted for rotation on said assembly about an axis spaced rearward of the telescoping tubes to reduce friction forces between them. The lower ends of the upper tubes are tapered to promote the formation of oil wedges for maintaining an oil film between the telescoping parts. Also, the fork assembly is mounted on the frame for pivotal movement about an inclined axis diverging with respect to a plane containing the axes of the telescoping tubes.
