sly = srsly = seriously ?

looks to me that he had not actually exercised prior to attempting this. Hence resulting in him opening the throttle on the 1000cc sports too much, which resulted in him loosing traction on the back wheel, then shutting it completely and then as Matt said, he catastrophically regains traction, resulting in a catapult type motion. If the rider had taken his time in the car park , and slowly built his confidence in riding the bike progressively lower and with the right body position, this would have not happened. It is all about practice and the car park is the best and the safest place to do it.

Nice noght peeps, hope to catch you all next week. Hope you all getting down to paeroa to watch the racing this sunday. It will be a minter.

Be safe

HE should have also probably warmed his tyres up first

... Chop the throttle, rear lifts, suddenly you have a lot more load pushing down the line of the forks (so outward at an angle to the ground) on a smaller (relative to the rear) contact patch. Static coefficient of friction is overcome ...

That do it for ya?

Yes - you pointed out that the weight moving forward was also at an angle outward - something I had not thought about. I had taken into consideration that moving weight onto front wheel would actually increase is frictional ability (since friction is proportional to downward force)- but not that the weight increase also has a sideways component as well as downwards.

Thanks that explains it well.

Contributory to this is the fact that at this time the suspension will rapidly decompress.

Yes it will increase the spread of the tire a little, and increase contact patch, but there is suddenly a LOT more force acting on that patch, so the traction is overcome.

Indeed. Then you get a big whack of force all at once and whoopsies!

Hi Guys

I don't know if I have the energy to read through the full 207 pages but is the NASS still on? More specifically is the meeting time for say this Wednesday at 7pm in Albany? I need a good dose of rider education!

Yes ......

Rock up to Shell Westgate at 6.30 for meting some cool people and a ride to Albany then training, or just meet us at Albany, quite a few do that; either way, its a great time and you gain knowledge that will save your life, no question about it.

P.S. Have been sick last 2 weeks, will be here on Wed!

Cheers mate ! ...

You just wish I was !!!

I must be going to the wrong place.... , the only people I meet are a few biker wierdos and some hairy old fart called Richard !

Well i finally got a chance to try out my birthday present on the weekend, a rather small (but surprisingly high quality) digital video camera that i can clip on to my jacket.

So if anyone would like to see their riding on camera to have a good look at their lines or see if there's anything they want to work on, let me know and i can sit behind you on the ride over through riverhead.

If i had a decent connection i would upload a sample to youtube (went through there on sat), but alas my connection is crap at the moment... Any volunteers to upload 330MB for me? :-p

Will try and make it on wed if anyone is interested

[TOTO]

thats sounds neat
