ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for performing realistic motorcycle stunts while stationary includes a motorcycle, a restraint bracket, a road simulation means, a failsafe mechanism frame savers, an exhaust vent system, and safety protection. The restraint bracket comprises a bracket system for the attachment of the motorcycle to the apparatus. The road simulation means comprises an apparatus such as a 900 lb. Barrel that spins on two pivot points creating 100% balance under the rear wheel or front wheel of the motorcycle for “popping a wheelie” or performing an “endo” that can simulate actual road conditions. The failsafe mechanism frame savers comprises a series of sensors in electronic communication with the restraint bracket and road simulation means to ensure that the motorcycle does not roll over on one side or pitch back too far. The exhaust vent system comprises a tubular system in fluid communication with the motorcycle exhaust for venting exhaust gasses away from the proximity of the apparatus, the operator and any bystanders. The safety protection comprises general personal safety gear and a series of pads and nets located in areas around the apparatus to protect riders should they fall from the apparatus.
