One of the basic principals of the gyroscope is they remain stable in space. This is the reason they are used in air craft instruments so level flight can be maintained when the natural horizon is not visible.

That's exactly the approach I was coming from! The gyros in aircraft utilize 3 axes (or more) to keep a balanced reference for instruments and pilots.Originally Posted by Retired Army
However, Travelor made me recall that while aircraft tilt in all three axes, our bikes tilt (fall over) in only one, so as long as the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the path of travel of the bike, that axis of rotation would apply to motorcycles.
I think I need more coffee, I burned through all the brain cells awakened by the first cup...lol
