Google Vid : technicalities of riding / racing

Seen in another place, it's an hour long merkin program. Follows a
Kawasaki race team, and so far has explained gyroscopic force,
countersteering and weighting pegs within 10 mins.

Someone might find it interesting / enlightnening / a source for some
quality nit-picking.

I'm watching it now. It's very good.

 

That's just what you need - a misunderstanding of the physics of riding.

Good luck with the repairs and remember that a head gasket isn't a euphemism
for a flavoured condom.

 

It was on the Discovery channel yesterday afternoon but I only caught
the last 10 minutes and can't find the next showing.

 

Love those ads.... must buy Relacore!

 

"For some students this was the first time they had ever really used the
front brake." Eeek...

If you're interested, there's a nice little firefox extension that
enables you to download videos/clips to your PC.

In iPod/PSP/AVI and FLV formats.

Very handy.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Cab belched forth and ejected the following:

Indeed!

I've been after something like this for ages.

Thank you.

 

Heh, me too.

 

Was it called "Speed on Two Wheels"?

It's next on on 24th June at 10am on Discovery.

 

That't the one, cheers. I got bored scrolling through the Sky+.

 

TiVo loves you.

How quaint, it's not off-the-shelf.

 

Which is also a home-brew effort IIRC.

Must admit, Digiguide has been somewhat superceded by my Telewest
TVDrive now. I mostly use it because it's faster than the one on the
TV and it's searchable.
