Warning- for when you up the pace.

People die on motorbikes, no news here,people who take risks know what could happen,thats life.

They don't have to die on bike though do they? I mean, if i was faced with the option of tipping into a sweeping uphill left hander at 100k and coming out the other end honky dorey revved up for the next corner OR tipping in at 120 losing it and slidding under the wheels of an on coming cars wheels eventually dying of internal bleeding and chocking on my own blood for a few minutes with the driver of the car standing over me powerless and crying (heh, sorry if i ruined your day lady, i was having so much fun though)


I know which I would choose

[James Deuce]

centrifugal force is defined as the force acting in an opposite direction to the centripetal force, ie the force acting outwards from a mass in a centrifuge. The two are often confused, and the name usually only refers to the direction, not the magnitude.

Most physicists would disagree with you. One is an almost colloquial term referring to the perceived effects of spinning an object, the other describes one of the forces acting on a moving motorcycle's wheels.

...pushing your boundries and finding 'the zone' is what causes a large percentage of Motorcycling's accidents.

It is nice to see that unsubstantiated claims are part of your forte.

Your whole philosophy is based on placing an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

That's a fucked up idea.

Quite the opposite in fact. Preventing the need for an ambulance in the first place, appears to be the reason for the opening post. I'm sure as a "mentor" you will support this action.

For fucks sake Steve!

The guy's offering advise, whats your problem?

Any thread Beyond puts up, any post he comments on you you take an opposing view!?

Build the proverbial and get over this fixation you have with him.

I bet you are glad to be grouped in with this fellow "mentor"...

meh, terms posses only the meaning they are given, physicists can get all upity if they want, but many people know the outwards force as centrifugal, so i have no problem calling it that.

[James Deuce]

Yeah, but it doesn't exist. Let me know when you manage to get stuff to radiate outwards from the centre of a spinning object, cos you may have invented a perpetual motion machine.

Err..may the force(s) be with you

[short-circuit]

Eh? Short circuit somewhere here I think.

Erm yes? Can I help you?

this guy seems to have it sorted



sorry if we are hijacking the thread a bit , but it seems like it was done anyways

LOL

Thanks for the support all. Sometimes I feel like an old medieval villager in the stocks getting rotten fruit thrown at me. But... then again... I confess to liking fruit so keep it coming

Is a coconut a fruit? cos they would fricken hurt!!!....

You'll note that the victims are flung off at a tangent to the direction of travel, not from the centre of the manual merry-go-round.

Centripetal force.

Centrifuge is a product name.

No, a coconut is a Polynesian islander. The term is a euphemism for nigger.There are fruity ones. They have a special name for them. Something with a f an l and a totally inordinate number of u and a . But it would probably hurt to have a coconut thrown at you, they mostly weigh a lot.

[Squid69]

While that is interesting to read, and I don't disagree with you technically, but I think it's dangerous and innappropriate to suggest to non-racers that they can just abide by your five simple instructions and they are in the ball-park. I don't think they will be anywhere near the ballpark.

Steve

To me it looks like he is saying make sure your bike and mind are in the ballpark.
perhaps you need to work on making your brain put what your eyes are seeing into the CORRECT ball park...

Have you ever been to a Fafafini throwning competition??

well actually they are throw off at a tangent to the spinning disk, but if you view it from the disks perspective they are thrown off radially initially because the discs spin and tangental velocity of the mass (numptys in this case) cancel out. Think about it, high speed cornering in a cage you are pushed outwards toward the outside of the corner, not forwards or backwards at a tangent to the path.

Centrifugal force.

Most people know exactly what is meant by it, and thats what a name is for!


Anyway, this talk of coconuts is much more interesting, you would certainly need to rethink you cornering strategy and pace if someone were throwing coconuts at you, for both the fruit and the polynesian islander variety
