Riding on ice

Ahh, the only flaw here being that if a=x then a-x=0, so the last step
is effectively 2*0=1*0 which is obviously true, but dividing both
sides by zero will not give 2=1, but 0=0, or infinity=infinity if you
prefer.

Swot I said. Sort of.

 

Rumbled. As you say the last line is dividing by zero.
Looks good for a quick glance though, huh?

 

Hmmm, so a movement of this second mass would be transmitted through to
the tyres?

 

What you don't want is BT45s. I got 200m out of my office and fell off
in the inch or so of settled snow. Then spent ages finding somewhere I
could park. Crashed at a colleagues place. Rode my bike back to the
office (about 1km) in the morning; fell off again trying to mount the
kerb where I normally park.

Still, it's all fun and games.

If I'd had a lighter bike I could flat-foot I'm convinced that I'd have
been ok. A k100 is not a snow-bike IMO.

 

IME it's normall stupidity and a lack of skill...

 

Sounds like a normal Burnt riding day, to be honest.....

Sunds like no tyre ever built would have kept him upright to me.

 

**** off!

Oh, forgot to mention falling over after visiting the pub and crashing
hard to the ground. Glad I was wearing my armoured bike jacket. Shame
I wasn't wearing my helmet...

 

On that bike, no. it's way too high for me; I can't flat foot it so my
feet couldn't stabilise it.

 

It *can* help if it's something you're used to doing (if you race a
motard or do enduros, motocross etc.), but it's not a guaranteed
solution particularly if it's not something you're used to doing and
you're not used to having the rear of the machine doing what the hell it
wants without it bothering you

Personally speaking, I'm of the opinion ultra-slippery surfaces should
either be left to off-road bikes or not ridden on at all...

Put Out The Lights On The Age Of Reason

 

I fear that recent experience leads me to agree...

 

Well, if you get the weight right...

....and it appears to be one of God's own motorcycles.

A friend of mine idly wondered had I got the outfit up and running and
would I like to do the elephant (sp) rally this year. Bike rallies are
not my thing generally.

But, the elephant on a 250cc outfit in northern Europe in February is
singularly inappropriate and appeals. Maybe next year.

 

Like anyone's only going to give a quick glance here...

 

Sounds like, if he had spiked tyres, he would have run himself over.
