i think there's more to it than just traction though


well obviously it's all about traction, but weight and the fact that a bike doesn't need to turn as tight are major factors


anyone see fifth gear when they put bike against car? i don't think i ever saw how it turned out

You can have a trailer on a bike.
In the uk your trailer has to be to legal standard and your fixtures to the bike are included in your mot.
Your insurance would be slightly higher too, but you can do it

Jonno

a trailer, you mean like a caravan

What in the name of feck are you talking about.

[benxuk]

Cars are worse to corner than bikes -

One reason behind traction control is because cars can't handle corners properly.

And as for road contact... bs it doesn't matter how much road "contact" you have, in fact in a car its negative to control.

Google newtons law, the GSCE level should just about explain it.

Stupidest post in the World, ever.

Which of Newton's Laws are you referring to.

[benxuk]

Did you google?

You do know how forces interact with forces, and how energy can only be transferred right?
