You know if you were to get a high powered fan and put it in front of the bike and then get the rear wheel off the ground on jack stands or something it could work but I think you'd get bored with it pretty quick.Half the fun of riding is seeing the scenery blowing by at speed.

You guys know where I can get one of those big fans?
(and if I really did do this, your damn sure there'd be a video... unlike the guys that did a burn out and then dumped it. Of course if there's no video, did it really happen)

That's just wrong. More harm than good running with no load. Unless you run it for a good a half hour or more, you'll have condensation watering down your oil. As stated, if a bearing freezes, your in the wall. That video is for wheel cleaning, notice he didn't start the bike and put it in gear. Nope, it's just wrong.

TPI CE-48B 48" Bld. 1HP 15V Belt Drive Exhaust Fan $586
"The TPI commercial exhaust fan is ideal for turning over a large volume of air rapidly."
Not really cost effective but could you imagine....

You could put a wide-screen TV in front of it while someone plays a race car video game for ya ... get a change of scenery that way and actually feel like your riding around ...hahahaha ....
