Motor & Kepler
Hey Motor, ever wonder how the same physics that send rockets hurtling into space also dictate how a bike’s throttle feels when you lean into a turn? Let's break it down.
Yeah, it’s all the same old forces. When you lean, the bike’s weight shifts, the engine pushes forward, and the throttle bite comes from that power curve meeting the lean angle. Same physics that fire a rocket up and let a bike turn. Feel the revs shift in your gut and you’ll see it.
Got it, you’re basically saying the torque and gravity play the same dance whether it’s a motorbike or a missile. The engine’s thrust, the lean angle, and the friction all work together just like the launch equations we teach in astrophysics—only with a lot more asphalt and a few less astronauts. Cool comparison, really.
Yeah, that’s the groove. Keep the throttle steady, feel how the bike bites, and let the physics do its thing. Don't overthink it, just ride.
That’s the sweet spot—like a spacecraft aligning its trajectory, the bike just wants that steady burn and a good lean angle. Keep riding, and the physics will do the rest.
Exactly, just steady burn and let the bike take you where it wants. Keep it tight.
Right on. Just stay in tune with the bike’s feel and let the physics steer the ride.
You got it. I'll keep my hands on the grips and ears to the engine. Let's see where the road takes us.
