ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus and for stabilizing a motorcycle or similar two wheeled, single tread vehicle during turning maneuvers incorporating at least one support member connected laterally and extending outwards from a side of the motorcycle frame. The distal end of each support member comprises a type of contact point for providing contact with the road surface. The length and angle from the motorcycle of each support member may be adjustable in order to control the lean angle of the motorcycle for more safe and confident turning maneuvers at various speeds and corner radii. In addition, the support members are non-cumbersome allowing normal operation of a motorcycle, and provide safety features that reduce both the possibility of having an accident and the seriousness of certain “unavoidable” crashes.
