    Cool Uni-motorcycle

    Hope the owner doesn't mind me posting this but...

    This is pretty cool.

    I don't know a lot of details about the bike, other than it was designed and built by a really clever guy at work. So if you have any questions I really can't answer them. However the pic and the video which were taken in Brisbane are worth having a look at.

    Enjoy!

    Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints.

    Cool fun project!

    I would not have the coordination to ride one myself, trying to balance the thing while also trying to balance the power and braking so you don't spin around like a sock in a tumble dryer...

    I see he put a stopper wheel on the front of that one which is a really good idea!

    Looks neat, looks like he got his idea from the prototype they built in the US a while back?

    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    If your into your monster garage like i am, this was covered in a ep called monster nation, or backyard builders and this was a feature init.

    Needless to say, they guy who built it promptly came off due to having no rear stabilizer
