The physics of motorcycling. Professor Charles Fauker with us and adventure journalist Jim Clash. If Jim's on the back of Chris Ulrich's super bike and he's leaning or not leaning, what in terms of physics and science is and is not taking place? And what do you want from a rider on theback of a bike?
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.
