sorry yam, but who is the other guy with you?

[@colefetters7253]

At about 50 minutes, when you guys were talking about the bullet scenario, the commenter is actually right, he just forgot to mention that the bullet is fired horizontal to the ground. So if there are no obstacles, the bullet's drop due to gravity will ultimately cause it to hit the ground at the same time as the dropped bullet. I think Spite was thinking that the bullet is being fired at the ground. Right or wrong, it's still a funny comment by a physics nut getting upset that not everyone else understands physics as well as he does.

[@benarcher45]

Isn't that physics exercise dependent on what type of bullet being fire is? Consider that a 9mm parabellum round doesn't have the same ballistic coefficient as a 6.5 Creedmore, which is made to go straighter for much further distance.

[@colefetters7253]

@@benarcher45 It isn't, the velocity and acceleration in the vertical direction is not dependent on the velocity and acceleration in the horizontal direction. The slope of the trajectory of the higher power bullet would be a lot shallower though because of the comparatively long distance traveled.

[@Motoboo_Marine]

@@benarcher45 it also is a scenario in a vacuum, since ballistic coefficient doesn't matter there.

[@irzekk]

I'd like some clarification please. What do you mean bullet fired horizontally? So the bullet is dropped and the gun is fired straight ahead? How is that a proper comparison? Wouldn't the height it's dropped at matter there too? Yeah the fact he didn't mention it being horizontal/from a height definitely caused the confusion.

[@irzekk]

Nevermind, after reading tubs comment again it makes sense. If you were to fire a bullet straight ahead from, let's say, 1km high, and it hit the ground after 1 minute, then the dropped bullet would take the same amount of time from 1km high because gravity isn't being changed/opposed.

[@RaceWithTime]

The mythbusters episode referenced is pretty old and at that moment in time motorcycle emissions standards were pretty new (motorcycles usually always lag automotive tech). Since then motorcycle emissions standards have caught up and are pretty comparable to cars overall with regard to non-GHG emissions. Bikes still hold a decent CO2 advantage when comparing against most cars though. Bikes also have much less pollution associated with their manufacturing (much less raw materials being used and processed).

[@jaykoerner]

Say that to me and my 2022 Chinese carbureted motorcycle.... I guess it has a catalytic converter, and air inlet valve on the exhaust to help it function but I highly doubt emissions are up to snuff considering it's not CARB(California air resource board) compliant still, at least it's enough for the EPA and the NTSB for national emissions but I digress, the standards are clearly still lower then cars by a good margin

[@AuroraDarkStar]

The only problem being it relies on leaving on the stock exhaust. For instance, you can't put a slip-on on my '21 mt09 and most aftermarket full systems don't have cats.

[@HydraSperati]

My take on this emissions thing is this. When was the last time you were in a ten mile traffic jam made up of motorcycles? Idling is the most inefficient part of engine running. Air pollution is prevalent in cities. Because if traffic idles it’s polluting. Why do the manufacturers put the stop start feature on the engine. London doesn’t charge the congestion fee on bikes because they do not contribute significantly

The whole attack on personal ice use in general is a load of bullshit. Unregulated manufacturing (especially in China,) global shipping, airlines, and public transportation account for the overwhelming majority of emissions, and they act as if lithium mining isn't just as bad for the environment anyways, not to mention very difficult to dispose of. Passenger cars and bikes, especially the entuisast market is but a drop in the bucket, and will make literally no change in emissions. Enthusiasts are just bad optics with our loud exhausts and our turbochargers, they hate these symbols of "wastefullness" but as long as the emissions that are killing are out of sight, I guess they aren't real.

[@SupChad735]

@@joesisti4841 Exactly. Like I want our planet to change to "clean" energy. But we need to tackle the big players first. Like when you clean your house, do you clean up the trash lying around or do you start detailing the couch? Right now we are detailing the couch. ICE personal vehicles contribute such a small amount compared to the airline industry. So why not try and go after that which would actually make a decent impact? Why are we pushing for EVs when the electricity supplying these vehicles is still being made from burning coal?

The R3 will do it from experience! I took my old one up and down a 12 mile mountain run I loved with my financeé on the back. I thought she would be scared so I took it slow until she kept screaming "GO FASTER" behind me. Eventually getting to the point of getting our knees down. We definitely got some looks and I will say on the up hills the little 321cc P-Twin was screaming for it's life trying to hold 60mph in 3rd gear, by the time we got back to the bottom and topped off the gas to ride about 50 miles home I noticed the rear tire was more shredded than on any track day that little R3 had ever seen! but overall one of the fondest experiences I've had on a motorcycle and still can't shake having it on the leaning edge of confidence in the tires and hearing "FASTER FASTER" in ever corner.

Wow, the pillion part of the video makes me wonder if I'm just crazy!? I've ridden with my girlfriend, now fiancé, on the back of my 2007 Aprilia SR50 R Factory with a full Malossi race tune all over South West Ontario and all over Vancouver BC area. 3 years in Ontario with it and 1 year in BC with that one. I then found a bone stock 2014 Aprilia SR50 R Factory for sale in Victoria. We took the ferry over to get the bike from Victoria, brought our helmets with us thinking it would be fine to drive back to downtown Vancouver BC in January... Got there, popped my plate on and drove back the entire way 2-up on the highway at 4° Celsius in the rain. It was miserable and the driving portion took 4 hours. We were both pretty frozen but couldn't stop laughing the whole way because it was absolutely hilarious... Much like Dumb and Dumber when they reached Aspen (less the water sports)! I must be a bit nuts though as I also rode a 2007 Aprilia SR50 R Factory from Edmonton to Ontario in 5 days down the Trans Canada Highway... Again, it was miserable! 96 km/h top speed on a 110 km/h road for 700 km per day while camping out on the side of the road for about 4 hours of actual sleep per night, again, it was pouring rain and hailing for about 90% of our trip (with 2 friends each on a BWS 125). This was in May of 2008. It would be a great trip to do with something like a Gold Wing DCT Tour, no time limit to get it done in and staying in hotels every night and sleeping until you wake up on your own! This story is getting long but, I ride an '09 Aprilia Mana 850 with my fiance on the back all the time (she much prefers the car now that I finally have one and know how to drive, I only rode bikes and scooters for 19 years). Now that she sees how relaxing and easy it is to be a passenger in a car, she almost always prefers that. Happily, she has no interest in going on the back of my '14 MV Agusta Brutale 675! So, aside from riding in to work, I still have some alone time on the bike to drive a bit aggressively! 😀

Can you give a citation (to a college level textbook or peer reviewed paper) for any experiment or science-based, validated model that demonstrates vertical force from a *spin-stabilized, axially symmetric* projectile? Airplane wings and golf balls are not an example, btw.

They needa stop harassing people over their personal vehicles. Yamcast got it bang on about going after ships. I mean, manufacturing plants that require massive amounts of heat are the #1 cause, but just 15 giant cargo ships make as much pollution as ALL personal vehicles in the world combined, and there's *thousands* of those ships, because they don't have to follow any emissions regulations (you know, like the ones everyone else started following in the 60s). But we gotta go after people commuting to work because we NEED cheap foreign labor. It's unthinkable that each country produce as much as they can in their own countries to help prevent pollution, and that's not even getting into the science of climate debate, which still isn't settled.

[@tscook10]

Well... that 15 cargo ship factoid is misleading (if not outright false). That might have been true for Sulfur emissions because no, gasoline engines don't create significant sulfur emissions. However, the global fleet of personal cars creates about 4.5x the CO2 emissions of all international shipping (most of which is by ships). They're both important, but personal vehicles are a larger chunk of the pie.

Yes I’d like something more visually appealing. I really don’t care about wanting more volume. I care more about upgrading the suspension because I am upwards of 300lbs. It feels fine as is but as it wears I’d rather just have something dampened above my weight so I don’t cause early wear and tear. I’d like to do steel braided brake lines and ebc pads. I’d also like to look into tuning for the abs as long as it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the imu which I think performs phenomenally. But that’s just my bike. I think other bikes can benefit from a louder exhaust. Just me personally it’s more about looks than sound. Even my 2020 Softail I’d like it more for the looks. I wouldn’t mind more volume but I’ve done exhausts on my Harley’s that aren’t much louder than stock. More changed the tone than the volume.

So actually you guys did break the Blade by riding it too slow🤣👍

[@ADobbin1]

Maybe to curb emissions on bike they should maybe make a bigger cat, or perhaps longer? Could that be a thing?

We're supposed to feel bad about driving our personal vehicles while those passing laws to restrict them fly around in private jets.

I did 2-up riding with my alcoholic ex who is a bit of a free spirit. I don’t think I will ever have a passenger again. Imagine riding and the person on the back thinks they’re at a rave. She would constantly lean the opposite direction in turns or go side to side. This was mostly with a Street Glide. But when I met her I had a Dyna and as someone who always rides alone and treats every stop light like a Christmas tree. As knowledgeable as I am about racing and physics. On this day I didn’t think about them at all. I told her hold tight as that light turned green and I dumped the clutch, we were very quickly staring at the sky. I brought it back down, and me being who I am when I almost die, I break out into hysterical laughter. She on the other hand was not amused as she punched me in the kidneys and called me every name in the urban dictionary. All I could say was “but did you die?” If you’re not dead just ride the adrenaline rush.

[@cliveomahoney4096]

Wow! This is Honda. How the hell can they let such a basic problem go to full production? Really bad, dude!

[@Motoboo_Marine]

The thing about the fireblade kinda makes me think they brought in engineers that aren't very experienced or something, because between this and the Africa Twin water pump issues, I expected better from the world's largest producer of internal combustion engines.

[@bik3r230]

First of all the problem exists only in first gear and second of all clicking it down a few gears would make the problem worse cuz now you're revving higher

[@user-wd1pr6kh4j]

"In your ear" Once you go black you go deaf 😂😂😂

[@Caz1studios]

Race track you hardly get out of second gear, wouldn’t the same issue happen?

[@paule5812]

So you guys did the two up Rebel 250?

[@johnantonopoulous6381]

The reason Hondas have there reputation is not because they never do anything wrong. it is because when they found there is a problem they tracked it down and fixed it. Can't say the same for other companies like GM when the plastic rivet would fail on the ignition causing the cylinder to fall out while drive they did a cost benefit analysis for home many people would die and home much it will cost to fix.

[@thisguy8100]

Click it down a few gears from first?

[@adamhicks24]

Thermodynamics comment hit me in the feels

[@randypullman1155]

Whoah there cowboy. My 17.1 litter diesel is zero emissions certified...js

[@gabeshaw3721]

With the fireblade, I wonder if Honda factory is gonna reimburse you for the repairs you had to do

[@ChrisG1392]

Or how about small engine emissions? How many old dudes mow their lawn every other day or just have massive lawns that need regular mowing and also take up would-be forest land which is something that actually contributes to surface cooling? This stuff is going to just backfire on them as more people get sick of high gas prices and higher barriers to entry

[@ronoldcross8189]

It is claimed that the UK has a law due to go in that bars any mods to the stock bikes.

[@trsskater]

Shooting a bullet vs dropping is they do fall at the same rate. The force of gravity and the air friction going down to the ground are exactly the same so they fall at the same speed. Outside forces like maybe you pushing the bullet down when you drop it would cause 1 to fall faster than the other. It be moved faster the free fall speed of the object. So the commenter is wrong about that it can't fall any faster. What you are thinking about is dropping a feather and a bowling ball on the moon (in the absence of air friction) fall at the same rate. Obviously that doesn't happen on Earth because of air friction.

everybody has a motorcycle in India. Calf toast is average toddler activity. I have done it when I was 7, all my friends to. riding with our dads.

[@lililililililili8667]

I thought the pipe gets hotter with richer tune because the unburnt fuel burns in the exhaust

[@tscook10]

Not typically. Hottest temperatures are going to be achieve at stoic, and without any air injected, the unburned fuel won't combust in the exhaust if it's running rich.

[@theTenthlife]

They didn't know what a ZRX is... my god I feel old.

Yam is making his way in your ear..... Just the tip tho. he promised!!!

[@landyman33]

That’ll be your last ever Honda test bike then 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@zyonsdream]

Nobody runs a stock pipe? I currently own 6 motorcycles from 2014 to s 2021 models. All have stock exhausts including my Harley.

[@robertsole9970]

I'd like to see a real study that compares the diesel emissions of a container or transport ship....to the aggerate emission of heavy trucks. I think you are probably wrong on that.

[@victoriazero8869]

We have the studies. Airlines are the worst offender, more than big ship or trucks.

[@robertsole9970]

@@victoriazero8869 airlines don’t use diesel. It’s kerosene or JP3 or JP4. Yammies comment was about diesel. Jet fuel no doubt generates pollution but how much, I’ve not seen articles on it.
