Of course the laws do no change, but you can't deny the physics of a motorcycle in motion are not exactly the same as the physics of a car in motion. Gyroscopic motion, traction, and stability are factors which would be different and need to be taken into account.

It is a valid question.

How would you fall backward? I don't see this as an issue at all.

the front wheel drops into a cradle...it clamps it...dropp the bike to neutral and the clamped cradle is then retracted up the ramp pulling the free wheeling back wheel and bike onto the ramp....

 

I knew you were mess`n.

 

BY the way Halloween is over take off your mask.

Interesting, but not "Night Rider" style. I mean for the bike to drive up the ramp and park under it's own power.

 

If you ride the bike around 15MPH faster than the truck, and pull the clutch in as you hit the ramp,
you can do it. Once you're on the ramp, no problem. A friend of mine does it at shows - never fell off to my knowledge.
I suspect you'd get some wheelspin if the bike was under power for 70MPH, dropping to 55MPH, and then to standstill in a short distance....but with the clutch in, it's just rolling... my buddy does it all the time.

 

Makes perfect sense.

 

See if Mythbusters will do it with a bike. That would be awesome to see.

 

And what would happen if the truck hit a speed bump at the very moment you got onto the ramp?

 

Something that would be funny as hell. Classic TV.

 

Yeah, I was thinking that having the transmission in neutral is a must. Backing down the ramp and on to the road has to be tough.
