Full Motorcycle Rig

Motorcycle sims are often overlooked in sim racing. There is barely any hardware out there to enjoy the respective titles in a somewhat authentic manner, which means bike racing fans often have to resort to controllers.
This did not do it for @Chris Beeves, though: They wanted more out of their virtual bike racing and took matters into their own hands. The end result: A mighty impressive motorcycle rig, complete with a 4DOF motion platform to simulate pitch, roll and even traction loss. The rig features a dash display behind the windscreen, haptic motors, hydraulic brakes and vibration speakers.
The construction goes even deeper: Not only has Chris managed to implement Force Feedback into the bike handles, but also countersteer emulation and kneepad rumblers - seemingly every imaginable detail is taken care of. A word of warning by the creator, though: "The list [of components] gets longer as time passes. This hobby has no limits!" We are just not sure if realistic wind simulation would be a good idea indoors...
