University of Arizona's Professor Charles Falco joins us on Two Wheels. He explains how and why a motorcycle racer goes through a bend almost horizontal. Jim Bocumba takes to the track at 140 miles an hour with Superbike Pro Racer Chris Olwich. And our very good friend, adventure journalist Jim Kles is also joining us.
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.
