Yeah, I tried to read it... I'd need a mathematician, a Patient mathematician.

verslagen nailed the gist of the paper ...

but the author forgot to account for lean angle to keep from going a"drift":

"...Drifting is a useful way of using excess engine power to provide some additional cornering power, but on tarmac the reduction in lean angle is not usually all that much..."

It all started so innocently. An article about how a motorcycle corners.
Suggesting to look up camber thrust and camber force. The picture of the rear wheel, showing the tire so deformed..

And all that discussion of rotational force and camber of the tyre vrs. angle of attack...blah, blah, blah...every thing I read was the "perfect day" with the "perfect conditions" and the "perfect tyre".

It is never a constant, the temperature of the tyre vrs pavement, makes a difference. The humidity of the air vrs the pavement makes a difference.

And the biggest thing.... who is riding the thing? Weight / experience / and believe it or not, the emotional state of the individual... will make a difference.

There are way too many variables to make a statement on how a motorcycle turns a corner at it's "optimal" angle of attack... its all generalizing.

If they had it figured all out, a team would be winning all the time in the race business :)

My question is....

Why is OF and MMR sitting straight in the saddle in a turn, and i'm leaning forward and throwing out my knee and not keeping up? :D  :D >:(

Because we're not going that fast?  

We only get squiggly when we're pushing it?

I dunno ......  ??

I didn't even SEE any of the guys on the dragon past the first turn, except for Lancer, who appeared to be keeping an eye on me in case I killed myself
