Oh dear! I don't think so..
I do like the Jefferson Airplane association though, as I'm a big fan and of Grace Slick in particular, but hadn't come across that track before. I instantly though of her when you mentioned the rabbit hole, but actually had Spike Milligan in mind with the think of a think thing.

Glad it gave you a think though and also a bit sorry really! I do realise of course that light wheels are a good thing.
Pondering, after writing the comments I also realised that bicycle wheels are considerably lighter than you could possibly get a motorcycle wheel and yet the gyroscopic forces still work to initiate a turn even at very low speeds.
It is probably not possible to make a rotating mass light enough to negate the gyroscopic force? Certainly not on a motorcycle where a tyre will always be required.

Thanks for the think and careful with that tea (Eugene.)
