Professor Charles Foco was involved in the art and science of the motorcycle at the Guggenheim. He says he has three favourite bikes, but there is one that makes him smile every time he walks by it. Jim Clash asks Professor Foco what's the fastest you've ever been on a motorcycle. The physics of two-world motorsport comes to an end as we wrap up our show.
In case you missed this episode on the Playing with Science channel… We kick it into top gear as hosts Gary O’Reilly and Chuck Nice explore the physics of motorcycle racing, riding, and assembly alongside adventure journalist Jim Clash and physics professor and motorcycle aficionado Charles Falco.
