How fast should he be?

Featured Replies

Let me give you these figures first:

 

-The loop is 4 lanes wide.

-It's diameter is 60 feet.

-It's circumference is 188.4 feet.

-The rider is riding a 2000 CC motorcycle.

 

How fast would he have to go to get through the loop?

If you try to ride a motorbike at a very low speed- like walking pace or lower, it is difficult to maintain balance (unless you have a side car).

And above about 100 MPH it's quite difficult to control.

Anywhere between those speeds would be sensible.

 

60*3.141592 =188.4955.....

Rather nearer to 188.5 than 188.4

Now you need to find out the difference between going through a loop and going round a loop.

Can you describe the 'loop' better, and what the bike is doing in/on/around it.

 

Is the loop like a circular running track on the ground? is it a wall-of-death type loop? is it a vertical loop? How wide is one lane, how heavy is the bike, why does it have such a huge engine?
