A warning device to warn drivers of two wheeled vehicles of an approaching critical angle (A) is disclosed. The warning device may include a sensing (124, 126)device and a separate signaling device (108). The sensing device may be a pendulum, bubble within a tube of fluid, a proximity sensor, or a mechanical whisker. The signaling device may be a buzzer, beeper, or lighted bulb. The sensing device sends a signal to the signaling device when a predetermined angle, greater than the critical angle, is reached so that the operator has time to react to the information prior to the vehicle tipping or contacting the ground. The warning device may be attachable to a bar (57) of the vehicle or placed atop the vehicle and is preferably easily installed by the motorcycle owner/driver. A method for warning a driver is also disclosed.
