Hesse: Physics, motorcycles and art all interrelate for me. I have instruments we've built that are based on what I know about motorcycle mechanics. A motorcycle is nothing more than a rolling physics class, as far as I'm concerned. As a Brit, I would endorse the buying of a Triumph course.
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.
