    Hey all,
    It's time to teach Newton's laws of motion to the wee tots in my science class. Years ago I saw a multi frame photo sequence of a bike that exited turn 10, (without rider) headed to the cornerworker station, sailed over the embankment, and lodged in a tree. It's the perfect example of a racebike in motion tends to stay in motion.... Anyone know of a link to it? The only memory I have of a label is Moon Shot.

    Thanks,

    Steven Barber

    I'm sure there's video of a GSXR ghost riding at VIR for a very long time since it was at an AMA event and Speed was televising it. This was about 2 years ago I think. It was really freaky how long that thing ghost rode.

    I'd love to see the progression, my wife says it must be fake, she doesn't believe in physics I guess.

    See you at Summit Steven!!:beer:

    I've seen a lot in trees over the year but what I liked about the Summit one was that it cleared the wires :D

    I was there. It really happened. This was before photoshop existed. Don't remember the rider, but I'll bet a dollar that Roger Lyle does and probably any other detail.
    He's easy enough to get in touch with or at least he was.
