Horizontal Motorcycle racing? |
How do they stay up when they are that low to the ground? It has to do with like inertia and gravity, right? you got it spot on gravity Ye, as the bike moves around the inside of the cylinder things, g-force pulls it towards the sides of the track, so they stay on the wall, if they go too slow they would full off sue to gravity though/. you got it. slow down and you lay the bike down. i just did yesterday. in an empty parking lot, before anyone makes any comments about being a maniac on the road. Centrifugal force. You can swing a bucket of water on a rope over your head and it will not spill out. Two things help,tire adhesion and a lower centre of gravity,this is achieved by the rider moving to the inside of the turn, in other words moving their butt off the seat. |
