  1. Howdy,

    I just posted an entry on my blog about my new project. A unicycle rack
    for my Harley!

    Here's the construction process and images: http://tinyurl.com/447n28

    And the picasa pictures:

    And, to save you some time, a few pictures embedded:

    Getting good is'nt about wanting it, needing it, paying for it; its
    about commiting to it. Sure, you may be able to n-spin, flip, drop; but
    will you stick with it, live for it, go through pain for it. If not,
    your not good. Your wasted effort.

  3. great job corbin I love to see and read unicycle related
    inventions.Where does the rack rest when not carrying uni? I think
    that rack would look much better on a sportsbike instead of that
    armchair on two wheels but thats just my personal preference.😉

    'Round here we call them gynecologist chairs.. 🙄

    I'm not so sure about the stand fitting on a sportsbike though, I feel
    it's a bit too upright.

  5. Hey, sweeet, Corbin! So you did it! And it looks like there won't even
    be much wind drag on the wheel, because it pretty much fits behind you!

    Do you think you'd be able to carry your Coker on it?

    Awesomeness!

    LOL! I do have a Honda RC51. That thing is much faster than my 'ol 1200
    Sportster, but it would have been a nightmare to make a rack for it.
    When the uni isn't on the rack, it just sticks up; but, i can loosen
    the bolts and it will fold down and sit on top of the rear wheel well
    cover.

    Chuck -- yup, I made the 'ol rack. It won't fit the Coker. Louise was
    already paranoid that I fit the KH 24 on it, and the coker would stick
    up wayyy to far.

    I rode it to Santa Cruz yesterday, and to work this morning (aapl) and
    it does great at freeway speeds.

    I've had it for years and years! Say, 2001?

    In general, my uni-buddies don't know about it, since I couldn't ride
    it and take a uni with me. Now things have changed!

  12. Cool! I didn't know you rode "powered bikes." Maybe you'll let me try it
    out sometime? I have the endorsement on my license, but haven't used it
    much since I worked for the driving school in NY.

    The first time I ever saw Floyd Crandall (of the old Pontiac
    Unicyclists; early unicycle champion and original holder of the
    Guinness 100m record), he came riding up to a practice at the Redford
    Unicycle Club on a motorcycle with his old Schwinn strapped on the
    back. He had it laying flat, with the seat sticking out to one side.
    Probably just bungees holding it down.

    On a sports bike/crotch rocket you'd want to orient the unicycle more
    aerodynamically. Like tilting it way out to the rear at a 30 degree
    angle or so! 🙂

    Of course! I remember you mentioning that you used to teach the class
    on how to ride, so you are welcome to ride my powered bikes whenever
    you want.

    Maybe you can make it down to the south Bay or Oakland area for an RTL
    training ride sometime soon. We should have a schlumpf fest one day.

    I've been trying to make it down. This Saturday is a possibility; we
    have to be in San Rafael late afternoon so a ride could happen!

    The Schlumpf is fun too, though I doubt I'll try to bring it to RTL. I
    just completed a 5 mile leg at 15.8 mph average! That's on the flat, of
    course...

    This weekend is the Maker Faire: http://makerfaire.com/

    At 5pm on Saturday, there will be a fashion show that Ashley has
    created some costumes for. Several of us (Louise, me, and some Berk
    people) will be on the catwalk on our unicycles!

    So...no Cokering for us this weekend.
