Motorcycle Landing gear

Large motorcycles are often too heavy to comfortably/safely keep upright at very low speeds or while standing, so why not add a landing gear.

 Very interesting is leg-up which allows you driving with them down, which can be seen in this youtube movie.

Friedenstaube

Killinger und Freund  motorcycle of the end of the second World War, which they called "Friedenstaube" (Peace Dove) makes you think about the current motorcycle design.

Its fate is a bit unclear, trawling the internet seems to indicate that is was bought by Europeans with the intention to restore it.

Have a look at this webpage and its links.
This youtube movie.
