Sort of like the c-clamp on a yardstick trick.

I'm reading this thread , there are gems everywhere .This above was particularly helpful ! I have to admit that after I saw Allert for the first time I immediately drew an Enfield sized version .... the rear is designed to slide back as Allert's slides forward .The bike plus rider would weigh around 230 kg / 500 pound .
I can see from dcb's comment above that the higher centre of pressure and the rider's weight higher too would very likely cause instability .
