Podcast 557: Mindblowing Geometry and Physics of Braking

Podcast 557: Mindblowing Geometry and Physics of Braking

This week on our motorcycle podcast we jump right into listener emails, and the conversations that come from them. First up, do modern sport bikes brake better than a vintage bike or a cruiser? It's hard to believe but the answer is no. We get into the physics and geometry that explains why bikes may be safer, but the stopping distance has not improved in 50 years. Between emails we play a couple of games that you can play along with. How many models of bike brands can you name? Can you do better than the Misfits? And how many of the top 15 global motorcycle brands can you guess? Play along and see how you do. Congrats to Ricky Brabec for running a perfect race and winning this year Dakar. With Liza, Henry, Neal, Miss Emma, Scottie, Naked Jim and Bagel. breakingawayadventures.com/misfits-rally-vol-2 www.vintagerides.travel adifferentagenda.com/ www.leodescapes.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew
