A mild admonishment

[dpex]

Good on ya mate.Ever thought that there may be a lot of Bikers out there now who wouldn't now where to start looking or what they would be looking for if they broke down ? I would say theres a few out there that just put gas in , ride and the local motorbike shop does everything else, just a thought

Yup. That describes this guy, perfectly. But he's a biker, so that's all that matters

Are you a Kiwi Rider Magazine subscriber dpex?

Nope. Can't stand mags unless they're filled with naked women.

Kudos to ya David ! Most would have stopped to see what help they could give !

Apparently, all but one didn't.

[FROSTY:Me]

karma is a total bitch. by not stopping most guys just cost themselves carma in the future.

Geez mate! That bloody petrol can of yours turned out to be a watering can. The spouty thing was full of holes.

Awwww but they're not, they're only filled with pictures of them !! Them mags just don't do it like the hun does
!


unless they have a forum like penthouse phoaaaar

Have to agree. Hun has the sexiest pair of eyes I've ever seen.

I took a funnel! But the owner of the ship I took it off got all dirty and demanded I give it back.

Referring to Frosty's by line which reads "Lets clear up bike terms: "Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the bike. "Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the bike. "Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence. "Torque" is how far you take the fence with you."

I was reading some very interesting data from a whole other discipline in which I'm interested and found the following. Scarey stuff.

It's about moving objects and kinetic energy. Here's the formula.

KE= 1/2 (w) X V squared.

W= weight. V = velocity.

And so, take a standard 600CC bike weighing in at say, 170Kg. Add a rider at say 90Kgs. Now have that pair arrive at an immovable object at 100Kph.

You've all heard of foot/pounds, eh? For those that haven't, foot/pounds is the energy required to lift one pound (.45 KGs) one foot (245mm).

If you work the formula through you will see that coming to an all-stop (like hitting a tree, at 100kph) means you will hit said tree with a force more or less equal to 75,000 foot/pounds. In other words, with energy sufficient to lift 75,000 pounds one foot off the ground. In other words, the same energy required to lift nearly 57 average cars off the ground.

Imagine the forces induced when you hit something coming the other way when you're both doing 100Kph?

Just thought I'd put that in.:--))

One foot is 305mm.. (304.8)
