[Ninjette Newsbot]

Last week while looking for “How It’s Made”’s that I haven’t seen yet (There are so few left…), I saw a listing for a show called “Crash Science - Motorcycles” on NatGeo so I decided to set the ol’ Tivo for it. Well, seeing how good ol’ Tropical Storm Fay has kept me inside (and miserable) for the last 3 days, this show was a pleasant surprise when it recorded Wednesday night — and after watching it I was very, very, impressed.

Today I saw that they are replaying it one more time. So, if you can, I highly recommend recording this show. It goes over some of the variables that cause Superbike crashes, and what science goes into helping solve these issues. Overall it’s a great crash course (no pun intended) into the evolution of Sportbike technology and how this technology trickles down into street bikes.

And Best of all.. It’s in HD…
