Re: Wrong

Socko, re-read the first sentence. Then STFU on things you know nothing about.

The MSF is never wrong; never has been, never will be.

Ever.

Not even a little bit.

Re: Wrong too

Have you ever seen the rear-braking system on an RC30?

Hint: Pay particular attention to the lever-arm arrangement and the floating caliper.

This exercise isn't to belittle you, rather it's to educate you.

That's your homework assignment: Find photos of an RC30 and study them. Report your observations and conclusions.

Re: Wrong too

Most systems are NOT linked. It is absolutely relevant to the discussion at hand.

The RC30 rear system was developed in an effort to overcome both the instantaneous weight-transfer (and resulting lightening of the rear-end) that comes with hard-braking a sport/race bike, AND the "jacking" effect on the swingarm resulting from closing the throttle (all this, merely by applying the rear brake).

Results were mixed. But it *DID* work, although it wasn't a "Magic Bullet", and rapidly-developing tire-technology quickly surpassed any advantages it had versus the weight-penalty and added complexity of that system (Traction was the Name of The Game).

Hence, the reason you don't see something like this on modern sportbikes: with even the cheapest tires of today, there's no real advantage to be had, and complexity costs money.

This demonstrates that, even in the late-'80s, Honda's Engineers had a fundamental grasp of the braking-characteristics of Motos.

It also demonstrates that socko doesn't. While socko-master might (especially if he's whom I believe to be), he's chosen to have socko portray a block-headed ignoramus with a "Big Mouth" and a poison pen.

(just to keep shyte "stirred up" on the MO forums)

I think they've dropped that from the course. Which is bad, I believe.

A large, heavy, high-coefficient of friction weight, a strong rope or chain, and a milkcrate to "store" it all in are all a man REALLY needs to stop a Moto.........

Re: Wrong

It could be that it's optional (chosen by the Instructor): My Wife took the BRC about a year-and-a-half ago - they didn't use the board.

There's only one problem with that - you run into the "Kpaul Syndrome": That situation of your target being more-overextended and further-into hock than yourself.



Like any good Predator, you should first stalk your victim and determine suitability before committing to a charge which cannot be recovered...............

I submit to all of you, that this is not a real human - it is Socko the Wonder-Stocking.

There is no way in Hell that a human-being is that irrational.
