Abstract
A vehicle driving simulator includes a chassis having two rotatable drums mounted therein, mechanically connected together, and configured to engage wheels of a motorcycle mounted on the chassis. A tilting yoke mechanism is attached to the chassis and includes a substantially rigid frame and a substantially rigid attachment bracket attached to the motorcycle and pivotally attached to the frame. A resistance device is attached between the attachment bracket and the frame, and a tilt sensor is attached to the frame of the tilting yoke mechanism. A pressure sensor may be mounted to a handlebar of the motorcycle and operably connected to a vehicle driving simulator controller.
