Motorcycle Dynamics

I have a special appetite for learning more about how motorcycles work. And there’s a lot to be fascinated by, because the physical dynamics of riding a motorcycle are truly amazing. Could it be that the harnessing of the complex and contradictory physical forces that keep a motorcycle upright is what makes riding one so appealing?

Only recently have the mathematics and physics of motorcycle riding been understood in a way that allows a description of the complex series of events that take place from before the clutch is released throughout the entire range of motorcycle movement and motion. Very few people have the knowledge, and fewer yet have the ability to describe it.

Thanks for allowing me this moment to geek out.

Motorcycle dynamics …

Like motorcycling, if it has to be explained you won’t understand it
