Gryroscopic or flywheel effect

[53driver]

WELL PUT! Great example with the bicycle tire!
So, if anything is spinning there will be stability, but the issue is 'along which axis.' Got it.
Since the bike doesn't tip forward or backward, but rather to the left or right, the flat 6 gives no stability whereas the HD design does.
It also means the HDs are more resistant to leaning over...lol.

Thanks Travelor!
