You gonna put the side stand down on one of those?


Well, if you're going to strive for impractical anyway, why not put a side stand smile

training wheels... nice

More to the point, just how eager would you be to pick that thing up if it fell over? It's got to be almost as heavy as a full-dress Gold Wing or a Triumph RocketIII touring. If you look at it that way, training wheels make sense.

Are you kidding? The wheels alone would weigh as much as a normal touring bike.

Yes, I was kidding. I was also poking fun at 900 pound touring bikes, which sometimes seem almost that large. That huge bike has to weigh about as much as, say, a medium-sized pickup truck, or maybe two of them. Needless to say, it's not what I'd like to ride on a windy back road. Although if it can climb over things like a two-wheeled monster truck, it could be useful in very deep snow (think giant Rokon Trailbreaker) and some urban situations... (wink) wink
