Ultimate merger of man and machine.

RcTechnologies · March 16th, 2015, 04:45 PM

since the teenage days of Gran Tourismo, and the sequels winning that formula one, working at a race track as a mechanic, to a degree in mech eng, the pursuit continues. Blisteringly fast. Dreamed of one day building my own micro sized retardely fast race car. Then a guy says to me "you should by a bike

"

Then the Isle of man began to make sense....

So did moto gp as a whole...

Now all we need to do is add aerodynamic downforce to motorcycles...

Keep the rubber side down, God bless.

Psssh. Downforce on motorcycles. No thanks! I'd rather enjoy my power wheelies.

alex.s · March 16th, 2015, 08:37 PM

downforce on a motorcycle doesn't make any sense in a turn.

winglets on bikes are to manage airflow not create downforce.

Ha, I wish I had a fireblade and the riding skills of Guy Martin. Then I could actually do legit power wheelies. The SV650 doesn't quite have enough.

Don't the new H2 have wings for this?

alex.s · March 22nd, 2015, 08:24 AM

Its for air flow control to manage cooling. Not downforce.
