i've seen them - they are pretty pricey (from the looks of it).. pretty much is a dyno and a trampolien for the front tire.. then it has mounting bolts for the rear tire to hold it in place so it doesnt go off the dyno.

i think the real one costs about $9,000 or so (there are all different ones) but you can always just make a DIY one if you know how to weld

they are usually setup for motorcycle shows - i've only seen one myself, they let you try it out and everything but the lane was like 10 miles long.

im guessing lane = line ? yea was thining of making on my self.. lolz but i dont know how it would do... was thinking two barrels with ball bearings for the rear tire with some metal poles sticking up to hold the rear wheel down to the barrels... use a longer bolt (for the axel) and go threw the pole-tire-pole... for the front use a bungee coord or sometime of coord to keep the bike from flipping past the bp and a large fan on front to keep the bike from over heating... the only problem i would be thinking about is the ball bearings/barrels im not sure if they would need more friction to get the front tire up or if no matter what they tire would spin with the front tire down no matter how much gas you give it

Yeah you would think that you would need some kind of resistance on the rear tire or its just going to spin up and not do a damn thing, to much resistance and it will burn the tire. I am no expert in this but I am just guessing...

no it was a lane - we had to get on our bikes and line up haha (JKING).. well when searching for a nice little stunter bike i found this.. http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/mcy/386536301.html

oh yeah, an old motorcycle dyno - the guy was going to convert it into a wheelie machine. pretty much you frabicate the rear axle holders in the back and take off the front off and replace it with some kind of spring or trampolien..

yea was thinking maybe have a sprocket and chain driving a generator for the front fan... that should cause some type of resistance and that way i dont have to run the fan off a power line =] DAMN IM SMART JUST THOUGHT OF IT WAHASDFAX! WOOTZ
