[kropotkin thinks...] - Guest Blog: Mat Oxley - Why MotoGP is going backwards
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- Why MotoGP is going backwards There’s very little all the factories agree on, but engine rotation is one of them After sunshine, rain and fresh air, my favourite natural phenomenon is gyroscopic effect. This is because we wouldn’t be able to ride motorcycles without it. If you don’t believe me, try this next time you’re out riding: when you stop at a traffic light, don’t put your feet down. (And don’t send me the bill.) A motorcycle’s spinning wheels create gyroscopic effect that keeps the machine going straight. The more speed, the more gyro and the more stability. This is all good, unless you are racing. Most racers don’t give a hoot about straight-line stability: they’re happy to hold on like gorillas on the straights, just so long as the bike will turn left or right in the blink of an eye.
