Dont you need a single seater for maximum chance of this hapening

With a bike engine and only one seat, this means you've got no reverse

"With a bike engine and only one seat, this means you've got no reverse"

and if you made it with only 2 wheels........

I take it the seats conveniently placed over the petrol tank are for the Wife and Mother-in-law.

Neither of which I have............

That roll bar must be 5' high. You'd have to have a sign on it to keep the kids from swinging on it. Passengers would be well up in the air as well, it would increase the wind resistance and raise the CoG to a new level.

Errr, your front end would scrape the road and damage your nosecone and you wouldn't be able to turn corners??

Good way to get rid of your kids if your were in an accident though...

At the same time- the pelting of insects/stone chips/half bricks would certainly toughen them up a bit!

Not that a half brick is going to do a 2 seater driver much good!

if you had fat kids you might even be able to do wheelies off the traffic lights
