Not what you might think, rather my daughter needed a subject for her school vehicle aerodynamics homework. :smt115

What could more challenging than BMW's Naked bike! :-k Alright, a GS for sure, but I don't have one of those.

She snapped a pic when I came home today so she could print and draw lines on it. 'Turbulence' will be the dominating label on this vehicle diagram when it's done. 8-[

For her extra credit I setup a live lab with my leaf blower and string to demonstrate and capture cylinder head turbulence and flow seperation. \:D/
Education and a bit of tireless promotion of my most beloved mode of transport.

Doug,

Thinking the same thing! The beauty of what we have here on this board is the element of surprise. Amazing what's discussed/debated when we have too much time on our hands NOT riding. :shock: =D>
