Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 6:41 pm10/15, wow not too bad, considering i didn't know anything about any of the historical questions

this is one I got wrong.
the correct answer imo is NOT a)
opening the throttle may make you go faster
round a corner but ground clearance???
nothing changes!
if it did, you will hit the car coming the other way
coz
the bike will stand up and move out towards
centreline. Try it on a lefthander and your automatic
reaction will be to load the bar..to keep the bike on track!
the ground clearance? will not change otherwise
you won't make it around the corner
cheers

smitty..sorry mate...but i gotta say this...
BULLSHIT.....
everytime i get the bike cranked and give him a lil twist on the "fun handle" he stands up and dances....hence increasing ground clearance..cos its lifting my pegs higher....
hence the correct answer was a..or woteva..i got it right..tho i didnt get many others right...
10/15 for neka
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 11:21 pmi agree... more power more clearance
i got 10/15 though
didn't know anything about the history stuff, but i do remember a video of a rider going over some great big snake and crashing
