Juliet, I think you have been taking too much Night Nurse or something. Make your bike dance? Are you sure?!!! Doesn't it always rain "up north"??
I love to dance with my bike Phil, trust me when you torque the bars just right through the tight S bends here you can make an F3 dance ;-)

As for rain ... I'm not in Scotland or Manchester you know ... lol ...barley half way up the UK if you look ... it's been beautiful here today, sunny all day ... have you had the same? :-)

Jules

You've had snow ... gosh ... we haven't had a thing here ... plenty of rain over the winter yes but also lots of sunny dry days .. February was the best on record and the warmest ... I thought down South was supposed to be even better ... our weather systems are so screwed up with this global warming stuff ...

Now go and play with a gyroscope ... they demonstrate the precession thing perfectly at the comfort of your desk ....

Buy your gyroscopes here:

Basic
http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_3037265

Precision
http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_3081415

Learn all about the properties of gyroscopic inertia, angular motion, torque, rotational inertia and rigidity in space as first recorded by Sir Isaac Newton.

Ahhh, Gyroscopic Precession



Without them, my airplanes couldn't fly in bad weather




the space shuttle wouldn't stay level in space either... as there are huge gyro's in the wings.

Plus there'd be none of this




one of my favorite forces in nature...

They drop a lot of gravel here in NE every year. It is pretty bad right now and I have only seen a few street cleaners. Summer can't get here fast enough.....
