Abstract
Disclosed is a system for supporting a fore-and-aft wheeled vehicle in a generally upright stationary position, comprising a pair of laterally extending support legs independently moveable between a raised retracted position permitting normal motion of the vehicle and a lowered ground-engaging position, an operating lever responsive to user input to generate separate control inputs for displacing said respective support legs so as to permit independent movement thereof, actuator mechanisms responsive to the respective control inputs for displacing the support legs between the ground-engaging and retracted positions in response to user input.

A system for supporting a fore-and-aft wheeled vehicle in a generally upright stationary position, comprising:
- a pair of laterally extending support legs independently moveable between a raised retracted position permitting normal motion of said vehicle and a lowered ground-engaging position;
- an operating lever responsive to user input to generate separate control inputs for displacing said respective support legs so as to permit independent movement thereof;
- and
- an actuator mechanism responsive to said respective control inputs for displacing said support legs between said ground-engaging and retracted positions in response to user input.
A system for supporting a fore-and-aft wheeled vehicle in a generally upright stationary position, comprising:
- a pair of laterally extending support legs independently moveable between a raised retracted position permitting normal motion of said vehicle and a lowered ground-engaging position;
- an operating lever responsive to user input to generate separate control inputs for displacing said respective support legs so as to permit independent movement thereof;
- a gear system in communication with the operating lever, to position the support legs;
- and
- a positioning system communicating between the gear system and the support legs.
An enclosed motor cycle vehicle having a balance system comprising:
- a pair of laterally extending support legs independently moveable between a raised retracted position permitting normal motion of said vehicle and a lowered ground-engaging position;
- an operating lever responsive to user input to generate separate control inputs for displacing said respective support legs so as to permit independent movement thereof;
- and
- an actuator mechanism responsive to said respective control inputs for displacing said support legs between said ground-engaging and retracted positions in response to user input.
