wow, there's some good stuff there... i've been reading thru some of those. I like this one:


Speed
Does NOT provide stability
If you lock your rear brake while traveling at 100 MPH your bike will fall over.

Speed is NOT what provides stability (or ease of balance) to a motorcycle. Rather, it is the enormous strength of the gyroscopic force generated by your spinning rear wheel. Since that spinning rear wheel is directly connected to the frame of the motorcycle (unlike your front wheel), it affects the stability and ease of balance of about 80% of the mass involved (including you.)

Didn't know that...

 

thanks good post

 

No problem guys. I figure that any advantage we can have while out there riding is worth it to me. Glad some of you are getting something from it.
