Can you ride a bike?

I'm sick of seeing "motorcycles" that are really a big hunk of reaction wheels with some rover wheels stuck on the bottom.  Bikes in real life don't have reaction wheels, and they work great!  So I made a bicycle without reaction wheels.  Here's the challenge:

Try to ride this little bronco: http://kerbalx.com/crafts/67006.  You may edit the action groups.

Simple!  Can you ride a bike in KSP?  That's all!  Then post a video/screenshots showing what happened.  This challenge isn't supposed to be super hard or competitive.

A couple tips for best results:

•  Motor RPM between 130 and 150
•  Servo Torque Limit between 6 and 8 (higher numbers give more control but less stability)
• Throttle just above the first white notch

[The bike has been updated in case you are confused about the comments below.]

This is my dream! If i could fly one day!

A micro docking port is already included so you can do that. The set up in your cargo bay is up to your imagination. Just remember to reset the control point to the bike or Kerbal after undocking. The sensitivity I have experienced sometimes after undocking seems to be down to the way the game handles control points after you undock a vessel. Example pics. Sorry but I am not co-ordinated enough to get the action shot as the bike reverses out of the cargo bay mid air. Maybe @Stormpilot could do some action shots for me? The base Knook23 that I just added 2 pieces to is available here.
