An motorbikes are not ecological. DT Why not? I'd have thought they were. Intrinsically. 45mpg to transport one (typically) person.......... You can get 5 people in a car with similar consumption. So in relative terms - they are not very sound as far as resources go. (would be my guess) Al My cb200...

I think we should stop bringing attention down on bikes, full stop. If politicians had any real idea of what they're capable of, they'd most probably ban them! :shock: Pete Ha ha. Mum's the word. (Touches nose with forefinger.) But if we tell them the "other stuff" they're capable of. Sin...

That could be "tarted" up.

Rigidity and dive? A remarkably modern principle.

Is that a scissor action rear shock?

Saw this a few weeks ago on one o the "cafe racer" sites. I really like the look of it. Not a fan of fairings, but this one I really like. It's low and not only does it look the biz, but you'd still get the wind on your chest. Practicality. Well it's not a winter hack is it, but I would im...

...... Edit. WOW (5mins after launch) I`m on good shxt here and in fact the answer is simply NO as it is not the rocket that goes to ISS (That only happened at Saturday morning Matinee). It`s only the capsule that arrives there. The rocket stages fall away at strategic points ensuring the capsule h...

Get me out o here

Does a rocket, which is to get to the ISS, and therefore I assume to reach the same speed, need to achieve "escape velocity" ? The speed of the ISS is less than escape velocity, Yes? Plus, am I right in saying that escape velocity is that speed which is enough to overcome the force of grav...

The Battery on this bike is pretty wimpy and it has to turn against the compression and friction of a big twin, so I am not surprised its only turning over a few times before weakening. Fuel can go off pretty quickly and I have heard of it causing issues. I have also heard about water collecting ar...
