Guys
some final thoughts on this ,two wheeled vehicles do not travel in straight
lines but constantly corrected weaves and wobbles ( deep hey ),after giving
this problem careful consideration I can only come to this conclusion, Rider
inexperience and or lack of practice is the primary cause of M.C.
streamliners that wobble ,career of course , roll over and generally misbehave
( unless some sort of mechanical failure occurs ) given enough time and
practice there would be no problem ,remember when you first learned to ride
that treadley ( push bike) wobble ,weave , fall over and if one persisted
eventually riding became second nature , single track vehicles at rest poses
nill static balance and if left to there own devices fall over go bang but
once moving at a reasonable speed (above walking pace) they become stable
and physics produces an auto balance mechanism through a complex interaction
of gyroscopic precession ,centrifugal force ,gravity and a line through the
two tyres contact patches and C of G. With a car if you want to go left you
steer left and visa a versa but with a bike if you want to go left you apply a
small force to the handle bars to the right and visa a versa this starts the
lean so practice in my humble opinion would be very beneficial as the rider
is the part of the equation that needs the fine tuning.
