nice!

Neat concept, but because it's fake, not all that entertaining.

Yeah, I ride bikes and watch racing. That's not happening. I do wonder what the story is.

Yeah, because a bike would do that, right itself from being right over like that.

Meh... bloody ads pretending to be real.

Yes, because experienced racers are going to want to cut OVER in front of the running rider and behind the slow moving motorcycle in a dramatic over the top fashion.

The bike actually would right itself, how much track width needed for that speed I do not know, but centrifugal force of the wheels keeps the bike upright, you upset the balance by counter-steering and shifting weight. I know because I had first hand experience with a high-speed get off.

well in this case i can see that happening, what you state. But thats only because in this video taping or whatnot its CLEAR the rider just flat out let go and flopped off, if he wibbly wobblied the front wheel or whatnot I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt it'd right itself without an outside force such as a mans arms. once its unbalanced it would stay so, but this guy clearly let go right after the turn.

The cut in front is what set alarm bells ringing fo rme

I can't see any reason why he would have fallen off, it's pretty clear he just let go at the right time.

... (oops, hit send twice))

Faker than a fake thing with FAKE stamped on it.

And pointless too.

Motorcycles = Evolution on a Stick

I hate to be a know-it-all (I love being a know-it-all), but centrifugal force has nothing to do with it. It's the forces of the spinning wheels acting as a gyroscopic flywheel that enables the motorcycle to maintain an upright axis while the operator is left behind. As the velocity of the wheels decreases, the nutation (amount of travel in the side to side tilt) of the motorcycle increases and the bike loses stability.

I seem to remember it being the centrifugal force of the wheels giving my bike the gyroscopic effect, but that was many, many years ago and that sounds pretty damn good, and I have yet to master the google magic, so thank you.


Dang, that google business isn't overrated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_dynamics

If you want to be precise it's the moment of inertia, associated with the angular momentum of the wheels which gives rise to the gyro effect. In simpler terms, it's the tendancy for rotating objects to resist changes to their axis of rotation.

You won't find what I wrote on google because *gasp* I made it all up!

Do you want to know what keeps a motorcycle upright? Skywalker Force.

(But, seriously: It's centrifugal force.)
