Ok, here’s one for all you engineers out there. I was talking to an acquaintance today about a new gadget he has. It’s a little box that goes on his dash of his car and tells him what the horsepower of his engine is. Apparently he had to put in the weight of the car and it’s occupants and it figures the power based on how long it takes to accelerate to a certain speed.
It seems to me that there must be a formula for figuring this out. Take the weight of our bike and ourselves and how long it takes to get to say 60 MPH, and figure what horse power and torque it takes to achieve that performance.
Anyone know where to find something like that? I’m WAY too cheap to spring for a dyno run but I’d still like to see what the Blue Streak is actually doing.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
