Two-wheeled motor vehicle assembly

Abstract

The two-wheeled vehicle assembly includes a motorcycle, motorbike or powered bicycle having a frame, a pair of wheels, one behind the other, a steering column, including a pair of handlebars and handles, a seat and a motor, and a throttle, throttle linkage as well as a throttle control, the latter connected to one of the handlebars, directly or indirectly. The assembly also includes a moveable auxiliary steering device which extends rearwardly from at least one of the handlebars or steering column, adjacent the seat and which enables the rider to lean back in a relaxed position in the seat, with his or her hands off of the handlebars and still be able to fully and precisely steer the vehicle. The auxiliary steering device can be made to pivot out of the way when desired and is individually repositionable for maximum ease and convenience. It includes an elongated arm, preferably with multiple articulated sections. It may also have a rotatable rear handle connected to the rear end of a wire throttle control extension, the front end of which is connected either to a wheel secured to a rotatable throttle control sleeve in one of the handlebars or directly to the carburetor throttle linkage. The assembly is simple, durable and efficient, permitting full steering and speed control while the rider is in a relaxed semi-reclining posture on the seat.
