That's two negatives. So yes I ride a bike.

The Hell No was regarding your understanding of counter-steering torque.

Stop deflecting. Do you ride a bike or not? And if so, what is it?

Edit: whoops, I see you actually answered. So, what do you ride?

Op - this may be of particular interest to you. A diagram on how to find the vagina.




Once puberty kicks in this will be more important to you than trolling motorcycle forums.

Or maybe not....

Guys, please, just stop already.

For whatever reason(s), he doesn't get it. He never will. Accept it. Get over it. Stop this madness. Or argue with him about it until the end of time.

You all keep saying that you're done with this, but you keep coming back! Just stop already.

I honestly think he's playing everyone here for a fool. No one can be that stupid. So again, please, just stop already.

Actually, what is becoming clear is that you guys don't get it. I listened to you guys a little to much. The herd mentality is hard to fend off. And you guys certainly do not have the ***** to admit you were wrong.

How does one play everyone for being a fool by being the biggest fool on the thread?

At this point it's just fun to mess with the idiot. My goal is to get the entire forum on his ignore list so that he can mindless blog his drivel with no acknowledgement what so ever. Like my post - he can't see it because I'm on ignore.

You are correct sir, what you fail to seem to understand (probably because you're looking at that picture and can't tell) that wheel (yes, the one right there in your picture) is somewhat still pointed in the opposite direction of that curve. I don't know this by anything visual, I know this because I have at least that much understanding of physics.

Oh and I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong...when I'm wrong.
