This, and the fact that huge areas have only 1 provider to choose from for land lines, and the providers know that so prices are very high, and customer service is non-existent.

Yeah, go from one extreme to another, surely there's absolutely no way to find some nice middle point?

I'm pretty sure most kids know the difference between a weed and a flower... Flowers don't come in little baggies or paper bags...

I could've gone into details about centrepetal forces and gyroscopic precession, but I chose not to, because it's not important from a rider's stance. Interesting from a phycisist's stance perhaps, but when riding, what matters is what forcefully steering or weight-shifting does to your bike, and to rest DocSavage64109's concerns about balance in crosswinds with a reclining motorcycle.

Also, the gyroscopic precession effect plays a large part with big wheeled motorcycles, but plays little to no part on motorscooters and other small wheeled two-wheelers, and this device has very little wheels so I doubt it has any noticeable effect.

If you're balancing your motorcycle by only shifting your weight around, you're doing something wrong.
It's actually not even possible to do that, because if you shift your body to the left, the motorcycle will tilt to the right and the center of mass will be on the exact same vertical line as it was before, exactly above the wheels. You balance by steering. If you get a crosswind from the left, you'll steer to the right slightly, moving the center of mass a tad to the right, but the point of contact with the ground even moreso. That way your motorcycle (and you with it) will lean a bit to the left counteracting the crosswind. This works exactly thesame on any two-wheeler like a motorcycle, scooter or a reclining motorcycle. You intuitively do thesame while steering. You don't steer the motorcycle left to go left. You steer it right, resulting in a controlled tilt to the left which you compensate by going round a bend. And knowing this can help you when you end up in a tight spot when you underestimated a bend. If you threaten to go off in a bend, pull the handlebar on the "wrong" side of the steeringwheel. This'll jolt you even flatter, and you will very likely make it through unscathed.

In the category of "No shit, sherlock" research....

Don't feed the trolls. Thought this was fairly common knowledge...

I'm no American either, nor have I ever lived, or do I live there, but yeah, those ANSI codes aren't generic knowledge I guess. :) btw: AZ is Arizona, AL = Alabama :)

Bleh, I ment AL, not AZ :)

Not quite all of us live in TX (or AZ, OH for that matter) mate...

Too many people looking for too few jobs. As a 50 something programmer I am now, shall we say, "semiretired". My last interview was a humiliating kick in the crotch. O(N)? Yeah, that and more. The kids need to wake up an (*gasp*, dare I say it?) unionize before they get "rightsized" out of the biz.

sorry, divorce is the most expensivr thing, followed by child support and alimony...

wow, that's about everywhere I've interviewed since turning 55 :(

Yup, reminds me very much of Tim Minchin's section on "How babies sleep"

Sorry, accidentally picked the wrong mod out of the list... Undoing by replying.

Why? Just use a passphrase like "My purple dog talked pancakes". Easy to transfer via phone, extremely hard to break as it makes absolutely no sense semantically.
