Yeah for someone like you that can actually sustain a wheelie I guess it would be a yawn. But the key here is, you would still give it a go....

5 mins is all you get, that will be $XX thanks...

Ashhurst A and P show? when is that?

Seems to me hes having fun indoors as it is.

plenty of guys out there that are way better at it than I am. As far as the wank factor goes.. meh... There is nothing better than wheelieing past a group of kids to see the joy on their faces. I am all about spreading the joy........

Totally transportable, could be hired for any kind of occassion.

Just like a bucking bronco machine, I'm picturing it in the middle of a crowded bar with a scantily clad bird perched atop it.

I'd have a go....but I'd do it in full leathers to ensure I got an experience as close to the real thing as possible

I beleive its a great machine, as for the 'business venture' thats all bullshit, but I think it would have a rather long queue at any venue it appears at, more so than the hotdog stand anyway..

If they were smart they would add a landing pad on shock absorbers to lessen the impact of noobs landing a wheelie too hard. That dude was still smacking the front of the bike down pretty hard.

What an absolutely ridiculous idea... Let me guess, it's from America?
The only thing that machine will help you do is getting comfortable with your body position during a wheelie. Nothing else. Since it is stationary it won't help you get any feeling for what actually is going on.

Or an actual simulation of the forces involved either...

gyroscopics of the front wheel still rotating
wind forces
uneven road
wind buffeting the rider as he keeps the balance
etc.

wind forces....A large Fan placed in front?

etc.

Hope my answers help.....

I wasn't intending to be quite so critically negative as what my post came across as...

I still say it is no comparison to the real thing, but if you bought one (and I looked into it myself at the end of last year...there are guys who manufacture them for purchase online) I would certainly be waiting in your line for a go.
