Thread: for the bikers

A very very good demostration of the "Gyro" effect for low speed motor bike handling Mind you he is helped by that machine having a low CoG. Keep your revs up and slip the clutch as needed, He proberly needed a new clutch at the end of the day!

posties go through that every day to get to some of your letter boxs

i daresay its a fair bit easier on a postie that weighs probably a third of what the cop bike does!

Not a lot to do with weight, it is more keeping the revs up and slipping the clutch at just the right time. You have to use the motor as a large gyro . I can turn the GTR1000 around on single lane bitumen if I do all the right things..about 50% of the time

and you still got the steel pins in your legs to prove it

Pretty impressive. I ride a sports bike and I reckon I would struggle to do the whole course, let alone on the tank that he was riding.

HELL! I KNOW I could not do the whole course!! Maybe the first turn................ now where did I put those training wheels................................

Every two years Posties do an advanced motorcycle course , to refresh the skills. Even though the size of the Police bike is awesome, the power of the Police bike gets him out of trouble. The principle is exactly the same, whatever bike you ride, but that rider did an excellent job. [ I still think our circles were tighter ] Bob
