Abstract:
A motor bike outrigger comprising;a) at least one structure adapted to be pivotally attached to a frame of a motor bike having a plurality of wheels at a plurality of locations; said at least one structure adapted to extend laterally to the direction of travel of said motor bike when said wheels are rolling;b) said at least one structure having a proximal end adapted to be pivotally attached to said frame of said motor bike, said at least one structure also having a distal end, said at least one structure also having a training wheel attached at the lower surface at said distal end thereof, said training wheel being adapted to contact the ground;c) said one structure further comprising:a) a hydraulic cylinder having a first end adapted to be pivotally attached to said frame of the motor bike, said hydraulic cylinder further having a piston positioned internally and surrounded by said hydraulic cylinder, said piston being movable with respect to the first end of said hydraulic cylinder and further having a one end of a piston rod attached to said piston, the other end of said piston rod extending outside said hydraulic cylinder and further being attached to the distal end of said a least one structure, said hydraulic cylinder having a second end opposite said first end, said hydraulic cylinder having an orifice at each of said first and said second end, whereby said piston may be moved within said hydraulic cylinder by the action of a fluid passing through the orifices;b) a bypass line having a bypass valve controlling the passage of fluid flowing between said orifices;c) said fluid further being capable of flowing between said opposite sides of said piston by means of a control orifice within the piston;d) said valve controlled by an air supply line;e) a lever, said air supply line being controlled by said lever and said lever adapted to be attached to said motor bike.
