Here's a picture of the bike I described in my last message...

The object sticking up from the bike at a funny angle represents the
rider's torso.  It's hinged so it can move side-to-side to lean the bike
into a turn.  The red object is a slider for the forks, the steering hinge
is the yellow object behind it.  The yellow thing sticking out of the
bottom of the bike is the rear swingarm pivot.  

Spherical tires.  Looks goofy, but that was easier than implementing
collision detection for toroids. :-)
