Right on Jack ! Bert used his head...........literally. By poking his head up into the airstream when the bike got spooky it moved the center of pressure and restored stability apparently. What do t

It seems to me tat if you needed an inclination indicator you could hang a weighted string at your windscreen. If it is leaning right, lean left. If it is leaning left, lean right. If it is laying on

I admired Burt Munroe also, I met him in 1969. I remember him picking up a girls hair and saying "which way's the wind blowing mum." Jack /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.te

Bert Monroe didn't lay on his back to ride, it's a sit on top tucked into a shell streamliner. Makes a big difference in driver / bike balance and stability. H0owever I have seen several normal motor

My memories of Bert Monroe are many, but I will never forget Record Runs one morning when I was working the nine mile post. Bert came rolling in after a down run of around 180 MPH, his pant leg was s

Ahh, this is true. I guess for true diretional awareness you would need a compass or other direction-aware instrument too. By the time you do all that though, it's like driving "ISR" (Instrument Salt
