When and why did wheelies become illegal?

What we need is very long fork tubes that slide out un-sprung leaving the wheel in contact with the road.

WTB section, here I come!

On the general subject, would handbrake turns follow the same criteria?

No. Newton's seventh rule would apply here... "it's a car, so it is shit".

I've seen a pic somewhere of a guy testing a prototype set of tele forks on I think a James scrambler in the 50's - the sliders and wheel have fallen off and he's looking down with the front still up in the air....No helmet either....

Stop talking shit, if you can't keep both wheels on the ground firmly maybe you should sell it and buy a GN250 before you hurt yourself.

Go and ride one, then come back and tell me you managed to keep the front wheel on the ground all the time. Even when you think you've got it sussed, you'll find yourself accelerating down a road and hit a slight bump... front wheel in the air

My new bikes like that. The ride by wire is so sensitive if I hit a bump in town in 2nd the throttle movement in my hand blips revs and pops the front wheel up. Clutch is so snatchy its hard to leave lights with any control also.
Still haven't worked out how to turn the sensitivity down or take it out of sport mode.
I put the usb stick instruction manual in my PC yesterday and managed to reformat it wiping its memory. Im currently trying to read Italian/pigeon English from the book.

I see you already have a working prototype.
