Doug died tragically did'nt he? Can't remember how? From memory he ran electric motors on the front wheel to keep it spinning for the gyro effect, or was that the pommy bloke who went round the Isle of Man? Memory stick is fading.....

Hahaha...I'll suss her out! Yeah can't remember how he died. But yes, he used to run a wee motor in the front wheel of his KX250...his fav bike of the time!

Helll No.
I tried it a few weeks ago on the GS1000, and crapped myself. The 1300 is like 50% bigger again. No, hell no, no farken way.

But...it'd be fun to give it one wee try maybe :P

Believe it or not...it ain't shopped! He used to tear the tail light lens out of the Z1300 and bring it back to earth.
