Farit Artist - Cyber Bike Leo. Adventures of an unusual motorcycle

Leo turns on another switch. The front electromagnetic shock absorbers are compressed and the front of the bike is reduced.

– The room goes up!

– The room stands still.

– I did not move the camcorder! Is this an additional camera control?

“No, you lower your front, squeezing the front suspension.”

– Why is it needed?

– Front shock absorbers raise and lower the front of the motorcycle. Dampers are needed for a smooth ride, so that not the whole motorcycle and the person sitting on it, but only one of the wheels, shakes on uneven roads.

– Not understood. Easier to make roads smooth. That nothing was shaking.

Leo returns his front end to the normal position and turns on the next switch. Compressed rear shock absorber. The back of the bike goes down almost to the floor.

– And what’s that? Now the room goes down.

Further rises above the normal position, then returns to its original position.

– This is apparently the rear suspension. – Makes a conclusion Leo, and includes another switch. – And what’s that?

– A bright spot appears on the wall! I turn on, and the wall becomes lighter! This is for sure I turn on! Can I make part of the wall brighter?!

– You do not turn on the spot on the wall, but your spotlight. This is a headlight. A bright spot on the wall is the light from your headlamp.

Leo turns on, off and switches the headlamp light.

– And now the bright spot jumps lower, the suspenders do not move, the room stands still?

– This is a dipped beam. – Lists Fred.

– What is it for?

– To see in the dark, and so that we can be seen in the dark. Dipped in order not to blind oncoming drivers.

– I can see in the dark in the infrared, I do not need this light.

– I need this light.

“Can’t you see in the infrared?”

– No, I do not see, and other people do not see.

– So, what’s this?

The turn indicators start flashing – the LEDs around the lenses of the video cameras.

– Why is nothing happening?

– These are direction indicators. You do not see them, they are too weak to light the wall. – He gets the answer to Fred. And without waiting for the question “for what?”, Fred continues. – In order to show other road users your intentions to turn aside, or to indicate an emergency stop.

Leo switches the next switch. A beep sounds.

– What is it for?

– To signal to participants of the movement in case of emergency.

– Why such a strange sound? Is it not possible to say in words?

– The person sitting in the car will not hear the words.

Leo’s front wheel turns to the left.

– Again the room turns!

– No, the room stands still.

– Another camera control? The room is moving, and I do not touch the management of video cameras and shock absorbers.

Leo turns the front wheel right and left.

– No, this is a fork front wheel. In order to be able to turn, change the direction of motion.

– So, what’s this?

Motorcycle stand rises to the frame. Leo begins to fall, but Fred manages to grab the falling bike. – This is a stand to stand upright. Return the stand back to the “parking” position.

The stand comes out, Fred sets Leo on the stand and he leaves him.

The Leo hull begins to rise relative to the front and rear wheels. Leo rises too high on the rear and front suspension. Stand, being high, ceases to hold the bike. Leo falls to the other side.

– What’s up with the room? Did Paul hit me on the side and become a wall? Why did everything turn 90 degrees? Can you walk the wall?

“Everything is fine with the room.” That you fell to the floor.

– Fell or floren?

– Why floren?

– Until now, I was far from the floor, and now I’m very close to the floor. So by the floor – floren. Is not it?

– I don’t even know what to say about your linguistic discoveries.

Fred picks up Leo, puts on a stand and departs again.

Leo removes the stand, and falls.

– How to move in this position?

– In this position, you can not move.

– Then why do you need such a situation if I cannot move?

Leo tries to stand up on his own, squeezes and expands the front shock, then the rear shock. Turns the steering wheel. Turns on and off headlights and turn indicators. Raises and lowers the stand. Gives a beep. Unsuccessfully.

– Will it be every time? – Dissatisfied with Leo. – I do not like it. I don’t want to end up in this position anymore. In this position, everything is useless, there is no sense in the presence of wheels and other things. And I do not need wheels. I was on the table and not bad.

“You’re just like a little kid.” – Fred reassures him. – It does not always work out the first time. Do you know how old people learn to walk? And how many months people learn to drive a car, ride a bike or a motorcycle. Do you want everything at once?

– It’s not my idea to put me on the wheels. – Parries Leo and moves the suspension and steering wheel again. Moves the stand. – Yes, I myself can never change my position. – Where is the switch to take a vertical position?

– I did not think about it, unfortunately.

Fred picks up Leo again and puts him on the stand. – It will be necessary to make a device for lifting. So you can independently take a vertical position. Now just turn on the gyroscope.
