I accept that I've used the wrong terminology in my title. I should be thinking in terms of "weight transfer" or better still "load transfer". I'm grateful that tanneman pointed this out.

So.....

Load transfer seems to be the preferred term. Makes sense. Go with that then.

Is it right to use the word or term gravity? Once we are moving (along the track/road) other forces are involved. Should I have said "centre of mass"?

Crikey, there's a lot to clear up before we even get to the point of ...

Mass and weight are 2 different things. Make sure of your facts before posting.

Mass is a more "primary" label, would it be fair to say? So if the weight moves (or even just the effective position) how can it move without saying that the primary thing from which it is derived also moves?

He's 53 and never not ridden since he was 16. Apart from the usual spill most of us probably have when learning, he had a perfect record accident wise. There are three riders that I rate and he's one of em. I trust him 100%. So, as far im concerned, it can happen to the ...

Does the shelite version have two bumps in it?

On a more serious note, my brother had a bad accident late last year involving colliding with two cars.

He suffered subdural hematoma, two broken arms, a broken foot, damaged knee and numerous other small injuries. He was lucky. Things could have ...

Give in to the force Luke.

Don't like it as a whole but parts of it are OK. Won't be doing that with mine. All the old Sr 500s were kick start - it's OK when you've got the knack
