Bike vibrates from 85miles/hr

[B.D.F.]

Yes, absolutely. And we had a few chuckles too- a thread that consists of 100% goodness IMO. I think I should have put the little guy rolling on the floor laughing in my post? OK, put it in there (easy boys!).

Hey, if I cannot have a few chuckles, I probably would not even visit. Then again, I cause as many chuckles as possible so the places I visit tend to be fun.... at least for me :-)

We answered the OP's question didn't we?

Living in your own little world are we, B D F?

Ohhh...and you're NOT??   Just sayin...

You have to be around here.

Absolutely! The one you live in looks dangerous and scary to me, plus it just does not work quite right.

   but only kind of....

Brian, what aspects of Quantum Mechanics were used in the implementation of the launched squirrel?  Did he travel as a single or in multiple particles, and where was the cat, dead or alive??? tp  

[B.D.F.]

Depends on who you ask- as far as I am concerned, none of them. Dan will probably tell you 'all of them' 'cause he is the Q.M. guy.

He traveled as a group of particles, exactly as he always exists, but I bet his sphincter particles were closer together than they usually are. All cats in the area were dead; there is no way a living cat could have possibly NOT tried to catch that squirrel in flight.

And that was a pretty funny video. Don't tell Kirby I said that.

I think this thread was about bike vibration, wasn't it?

[B.D.F.]

I believe it was until someone...... insulted the entire species of Sciuridae. Now who was that.....

Brane hurting again..

  You guys crack me up!

Best thing to do is not go 85+ MPH, and all will be good, until what is really wrong will raise it's ugly head at 55, and then, HANG ON...

[B.D.F.]

Finally! A valid solution!

I went to the doctor and said 'Doc, it hurts when I do this (put physical activity here). The Doctor replied 'Don't do that (put same physical activity here also).

Then what's the point of having a C14?

To ride over 85 without vibration, which he can't do at this time. So, he needs to ride below that speed  back to the tire installer, and not leave until the problem is solved, even if 85 is probably an illegal speed in his area.  Just sayin'.

Sorry, thought you were proposing a permanent solution.

[B.D.F.]

You can go faster than 85 or slower than 85, you simply cannot go just 85 MPH.

Fortunately there is a principle in physics known as 'jerk'- the fourth derivative of position (easy boys!). Jerk can yield infinite acceleration, which means that things can achieve a certain velocity without having had gone through all lesser or greater velocities to get there. It is actually based in Quantum Mechanics (shiver me timbers) and says basically that the sum of all particles moving in a group (like us on motorcycles) does  not represent the velocity of the sub- components. And as the velocity of particles can change instantly, so too can the group of particles. This gives us two possibilities: one is that a motorcycle can reach, say, 100 MPH without ever having gone 85 MPH during its acceleration to 100 MPH. (cool, huh?) It also means that while nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light, it IS possible that objects could travel faster than the speed of light without ever actually having traveled at the speed of light.... which they cannot do.

Dan? Dan? Dan, where are you?

That's a good thing. Because if we knew our bike was going 85 mph we would not know where it was.

Sorry, thought you were proposing a permanent solution.

The only permanent solution for the bike's owner, would be to park it, and never ride it again.  Taking into consideration all the before mentioned possible causes and fixes, each of those fixes would only be temporary.  Tires  wear, balance gets off, bearings loosen, sensors get broken, etc, causing potential problems to return...

I still believe that returning to the person that rendered the repair that supposedly  caused the problem, is the next step, if the garage and traveling at 100, without seeing 85 aren't viable solutions. 

That faster than light speed thing does sound interesting, though.

[B.D.F.]

Of course but I think we covered all that, didn't we? Check the wheel balance. Check that the tires / wheels are running true (beads fully seated etc.). Take the bike back to the person / company that did the work and ask that it be checked. Finally, take the bike somewhere else and have them check some or everything mentioned above, of course paying again for this service. I think that about covers the problem as it exists in reality.

Then the thread went on disregarding reality and was actually pretty amusing- I think it is still that way now.

Is this not correct? Did I miss something?

And yep, the faster than the speed of light IS interesting but it begs the question: would the headlights be effective in that envelope of movement? Dan? Dan, where are you?

"That faster than light speed thing does sound interesting, though."

I thought that's why it's called a 'c' 14.
