James Davis, Houston TX, has a website http://www.msgroup.org/default.aspx
crammed with all kinds of info on the physics of motocrycle riding. Anyone thinking of learning how to ride ought to spend hours reading the articles and tips on this site. It is an excellent place to learn what happens when you ride.

Then go take a safety course. I've taken the MSF ERC....three times. And still stuff happens...
Rock on.
