Last night my airplane-owning friend sent me the attached photos of a cool biplane custom motorcycle that one his aircraft club members built years ago.

I'm very curious to know how much lift is generated by the air-foils. I'm guessing the owner rarely rides above 60mph, so it's probably not an issue. Very cool pictures. |

My friend told me that the motorcycle was mostly for display and was not something that you would want to ride very fast or in a wind. Stable when moving, it was not.

And here I was thinking Ducati was leading the pack when it comes to aero treatments, lol. |

He's got the wings on upside down, so probably more downforce than lift. |
