(I now have a silly mental image of hundreds of brightly-colored bikes roaming the plains a la Dances With Wolves )

Great video on the self riding abilities of I.H.bikes.
slowSSer,I'm thinking more along the lines of Hidalgo.

Sorry, I don't know how to make it viewable in the thread.

Saw this a week or two back on another site and watched it like 25 times. It makes me laugh. I want to redo it in grainy black and white with piano saloon music.

it is the exact opposite with an Iron Horse. The rider is running as fast as he can away from the bike

He must have a steering dampener or something for the bike to be able to stay balanced and straight going that far.

This video proves the point "the bike wants to go down hill"..."we are the ones that cause it to crash"....watch and see....

I disagree. As long as it is rolling (in this case added by gravity), a moving bike will inherently want to stay upright. That's what I always tell my girlfriend: "A moving bike is an upright bike." Once it goes to slow, it wants to fall over. I'm not sure she grasps that yet.

It's the rider that causes the bike to crash.

Didn't you ever ghost ride bikes as a kid? I remember that bikes alone are capable of doing spectacular things!

I did try to ghost ride when I was a kid but the bike would crash because the front wheel would turn a lil causing it to lose its balance. If the front wheel isnt as swirly or lose, I think it'd roll further.

BTW, thanks for the Hopey pics and I'm still interested. Just have to find the time to get down there.

Self- Righting - Great...they turn to the right.

Self- Centering - Damn self-centered bikes.

Self- Cornering - uh...sometimes I want to go straight over the obstacle, not corner around it.

Built-in GPS - So you know that you're lost on an IH

Self- Pedaling - That explains why the pedals keep hitting rocks.

CPR Certified - Because your competition took your breath away.

Search and Rescue Ready - Because the GPS confirmed you were lost, you'll need it.

Built-in Battery/Computer/Phone Charger - That explains all the excess weight. Completely unnecessary.

Breathalyzer Option (Standard on the Sunday line) - You'd have to have this, because you're probably drunk when you bought it.

Run Flat Tires - Why would you want them to run flat?

And the list continues...It sure does

What a silly waste of a bump.

Keep in mind, we are all limited to 10 bumps per account. Once that is reached, you need a new account.
