Weight transfer?

[AllanB]

While everyone else debates CoG blah blah......

I'm willing to bet you don't keep your head level with the horizon. In other words you keep your neck straight rather than tilting your head to keep the horizon level.

Well F yes - here's some good advise!

Basically you overcooked into the corner and appear to be taking a bad line - ie your line brought your head into the other lane. Your bad, these things happen.

I believe it was the natural reaction to panic and focus on the 'scare' (in this case the car) thus f-ing up the bend.

I'd have to say here that I see little point in arse up knee down riding on public roads - if you have to be doing that to corner the bike well, then you are going wayyyyy toooo fast for a blind corner on a public road.

In principle I would have to agree with that - on the public road you must expect the unexpected...like some stupid cow using the road as a headland to turn her friggin ride on mower round on - on a blind corner on a rural road....who I "met" a couple of weeks ago.......now she did shit herself but I didn't 'cause I'd had the sense to slow up because the corner was blind.....sure made her freak out though...ht. ht. ht..

I can only say that if you want to fang it, go on the track.....on the public road, keep some in reserve....like I do.......most of the time anyway....

I give up - you can keep your flawed understanding, please just don't try and teach anyone mechanics.

Quite amazing how those who see themselves as so much cleverer than the rest, sound so stupid.

You know that shaft-drives can't wheelie, eh.

Oh wheally.
But, seriously, Hitcher don't try this at home...

I have diligently believed you on this matter since you first posted it in the summer of '69, in spite of clear spatial separation between Big Yam's front wheel and the macadam on a couple of occasions. These I put down to "undulations" in the road surface.

Oh wheally.

Obviously the retrofitted chain drives have been photoshopped out of those pictures.

Yes, you won't be so gullible again in future, eh?

Can't argue with physics.

You do know that the word 'gullible' is not in the dictionary?
And I'll argue with a psychic if I want to...

And you better tell the F1 guys that aerodynamics doesn't affect weight distribution then.

All the fancy theories and ideas. FFS
Try this.
Go into ya gargre and get a stick of chalk and a flexible measuring stick.

Take ya bike out to a stretch of road ya know well
Ride the fucken road.
Draw a chalk line from one side of ya tyres to the other
Ride some more --measure how much chalks left -redraw the line
Now shift yer arse over on the seat so your bum cheek is hanging off the side as ya go round corners.
Measure the chalk
Try all the fancy ideas people come up with and see which idea keeps the biggest amount of chalk on the tyre.
The point being-the less tread you use the less the bikes leaned
my point???
GET YER ARSE OUT THERE AND RIDE !!!!!!
