    Motorcycle Mechanic by trade........... but I am currently building arcade machines(motorcycle simulation), utilizing pc platform, that only need potentiometer input for game but...........
    upon a visit by some friends, viewing the project and test running the prototype, all but one . he just sat and watched with great excitement but never tried...............

    everyone was excited about the finish version of the six machines linked together via network including the one friend...........

    but see I didn't have to ask because he is in a wheel chair..........

    nothing stops this guy and he would get on.......... but my current machine is based on operator position of the sit on cycle ......... with out limits to lean angles

    I have been working for some time to set-up a negative weight centre sprung motorcycle but to no avail

    What I am now thinking is to set-up a simulator based on movement of handlebars
    right side throttle as before, left hand brake as before, left hand throttle to activate forward and rearward
    lean, and left and right lean at the handlebar for leaning
    which in turn provides the actual movement of cycle

    potentiometer at handlebars to ?
    prefer motors but open to ideas

    thanks for any suggestions on hardware and/or software for simplex set-up

    don't monitor messages but 1or 2 x per week

    thanx in advance
