Having pondered this for several seconds, my brain has returned a null pointer exception.
At the moment all my attention is fully taken with Eve Muirhead and Anna Sloan (and the other two)
Normal service may not be resumed for a while :shock:

As Al said the rear shock is the standard one and it has the standard rear wheel too. So its certainly not the sports model Maybe this picture is the one taken when the bike was new to the seller, hence no pannier rails and hangers fitted. If its a recent pic then it looks in good nick, and of cours...

I dont recall having a spam button.

I do fancy a 110cc ATV though.
Did you know that the 110cc refer to the total volume swept through the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. Better known as engine displacement?

Fascinating !

Isn't an open ended spanner on a hexagon an example of a fulcrum? Isn't a pipe wrench a fulcrum?


no

I Think you're thinking yourself round in circles! In every bolt/nut/ spanner scenario the force is a force X a radius which is Torque. The force applied to the end of the spanner by arms/legs big FO hammer is linear. However big or small the nut/bolt, when said torque is applied it will want to rot...

I use a Pi running the latest version of RaspBMC to stream video and music to my TV and surround sound. Because of t...

Exactly the opposite. If the child flies off at a tangent to the resultant force then the momentum becomes angular

I wasn't going to.............but I can't help myself. I don't see how you can have torque using a fulcrum. A fulcrum is a pivot point. In its simplest form a seesaw. Put small child on one end seesaw goes down. Put large child on the other end, large child goes down, small child goes up. Ends of se...
