Mike,
I think a large part of the problem has to do with the handling of the hub
center steering (that most liners seem to have) and very long wheel base.
In the movie On Any Sunday, there is a segment with Cal Rayborn in a HD
powered liner that went something like 325 MPH (surely someone here has a
better memory than me - no big feat).
He said something like "Up to 100, push right to go right; 100-200, push
left to go right; over 300, push right to go right." If that's right, it
might explain why so many new liners fall over around 100 MPH?

Would riding a long wheelbase recumbent bicycle help "train"
a driver?
The riding position is not fully prone as it is in the
'liner, but the
feet are high and forward of the driver.
