I try not to hit traffic, cos it hurts

Sheesh Neil its obvious!!!

The imbalance means they are better at going into corners, BUT only left or right depending on which side you have the sad and lonely single arm on.
So if its an airfield perimeter track no prob, just fit the arm on the outside og the track and yer good to go.
Problem comes when you get tracks with corners in both directions, which side do you choose to favour??? Easiest not to decide and use a real swinging arm.

Also its about mechanics... IF one big thing was better then you'd have one big thick rib in a planes wing, and what do they use??? Lots of them see more conclusive evidence that two is better than one especially where cream buns are concerned

I would be interested to hear Didge's opinion on this topic

Nickj · 08-08-2008, 10:23 PM

I am confident that Didge would have an opinion, and further I would defend his right to that opinion to the last jelly baby

so, we're all agreed then - red bikes (corse stripe optional - since it has 'neutral contribution to performance and we're not discussing style here), with proper (i.e. twin arm) swingers, and no silly radiator things, are scientifically proven to be the bestest...

that'll be my bike then (by pure coincidence of course) - and a squirty cream flan in the face of any dissenters so there...

speaking of which, anyone got any cream cakes they don't need I'm quite peckish this morning?

are you having a laugh? Whilst I'm on this forum, there will NEVER be any spare cakes going!!!!

totally agreed, and they must have approved tyres on too (not just ones you read the hype about), filled with helium of course

Donut anyone?

Just like your arguement, donuts have big holes in!

SR monsters are the best!

Albie · 09-08-2008, 05:28 PM

Sr swingarms are beefier than dual and also more heavier so therefore more stable.
The side exhausts also balance the bike up to counterrset the monocoque. This erradicates the vertical downforces on the midsection over the cross spars leverage. This maintains that the equal forces on the horizontal can side plane thus not allowing the inert comendiums to exchange excess heat through the main chamber keeping the rear light from vibrating loose.

So whos wrong then.

Ha! Albies beaten you with science! (And big words)

But surely as soon as you replace the standard Ducati 4 cans weighing approximately 400 lb with Termis, that all goes out the window.

Therefore, taking your thoughts into consideration, surely S*R's with Termis are all wrong ?? And it's be made even worse when you nail a honking great lump filled with water on the front...

So you're wrong, ner ner ne ner ner...

Nickj · 09-08-2008, 09:59 PM

And of course two exhausts adding thrust on one side AND EVEN WORSE the opposite side to the sadly deficient swinging arm can only cause a greater falling over effect.

Nickj · 09-08-2008, 10:03 PM

Yep Blah nailing a flat plate to the front reduces the arerodynamics to those only beaten by a large building block.
I'm surprised that Silver monsters with termis and radiators are in any danger from exceeding any speed limits, assuming that is they haven't fallen over as soon as they start moving.
