Are we confusing torque with gyroscopic forces in this case? I've never noticed any difference in this sort of situation from revving the engine, but I HAVE noticed a difference with a little bit of clutch applied, to keep the power to the tire, which only adds confusion to the discussion! A NECESSARY "byproduct" of the physics involved. But, you CAN lean a bike without turning it. Maybe not by a huge amount, but you can. Put your hands on the tank and try to turn with JUST leaning. You will turn, but it won't be nearly as much as expected. Dis claimer: I'm not advocating riding with your hands off the controls, find a closed course to do so. Doing so on the street or highway is not a good idea, even if most of us have taken our hands off the controls just to prove to ourselves that we can.

The only argument I have is how much the crankshaft contributing to the gyroscopic effect. I'm going to say next to zero, but the rest is really good!

Nice explanation!

Likwid has a Hardley now. That would mean NO oil, if he doesn't want it to leak!

Words cannot express the loss of a friend.

Oh wow! That's wicked!

Brake cleaner is no fun to get into the eyes, either. Brake cleaner is no joke! One time I was spraying some on a running engine, past the fan, and in a very short time, the vapors just about got me. I was having a tough time breathing more than very shallow breaths. Yes, be careful with that stuff.

This. Although said plate would have to be on the curb.

Wow, you guys ARE OLD!!!

Sideways at 140 in the snow. You left out some of the details!

It's all about the attitude of doing things right, for the most part, sort of like ATGATT.

Nice!

To learn how to spell diminished?

Please do! Go ninja on that cloud's ass! I'm sick of the rain as well. Today was the first time I've been able to mow the yard. THAT was a chore, even on the rider.

Like there's any question about that one.

Wow! Very non-typical ReconRat post! Tom's usually not whiney like this!

BTW... Are we tempting the devil by riding on S.R. 666?

In... As long as the schedule stays as is!

Yeah, Facebook bridge.

Not a good excuse. You've had lots of time with all the rain...

The REAL answer to the poll question is neither. Reason: Neither came yet, that's why they're still fucking us!

"Neither" wasn't a poll option, so you suck at making polls. Also, every poll on Ohio Riders must have a "Hookers and blow" option. Ouch! on many levels!

Microsoft?

The wise one, jbot speaking from experience... Oh wait, he bangs the tailpipe of the sumo every chance he gets, then faps to pics of it later that night!

I'm gonna head out to ride soon... To work.
