    Falling, standing up...

    I thought this video deserved attention; just amazing; coupled with a carbon bodywork (ohps) could be very interesting.

    That first impact would likely kill you whether it tipped over or not.

        I wonder if, the max lean angle, could be set by the rider...

          That ain't strictly necessary; just think of the impact Alonso has had in Melbourne...

            My fiance linked me that vid on Facebook earlier this week. I like it but I have the feeling that, like the Elio, it's another small vehicle pipe dream.

              One problem with the Internet is that stuff is up there forever
              I was interested in the LIT 1 when it did press releases 3-4 years ago, even tho I'd never fit in one

              However, if you check the LIT Motors webpage, nothing's been posted there for almost 2 years
              Methinks it's a dead idea
              1978 GS 1000 (since new)
              1979 GS 1000 (The Fridge, superbike replica project)
              1978 GS 1000 (parts)
              1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
              1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)
              1970 450 Mk IIID (THUMP!)
              2007 DRz 400S
              1999 ATK 490ES
              1994 DR 350SES

                I saw that too, and my thought is: just because it can be done doesn't make it right. I think the gyro used would consume too much of the power and make the range unacceptable. just make the thing without all that crap and when you stop, do the flintstone walk and have a sidesand!

                  I don't see anywhere near the amount of safety equipment that Alonzo had protecting him and holding him in place in the car.

                    I think, the media exposure is designed to attract the necessary financial backing, to industrialize the project.
                    I think you need the ramps, in order to mantain a fully enclosed shell (more rigid)?
