You know thoise BMW C1 things? The covered scooter ish type thing with a proper cockpit?
Well, if you rode one of them down the high street fast enough and then slammed on the anchors to do a stoppie, d'you think you could get it to do a forward roll and then carry on going?

Scrap Heap Challenge once featured something that did that- a bike in a wheel that spun when you hit the breaks, it looked like a genuine commercially produced arrangement, too. The teams then had to build similar devices.
