   Motorcycles are generally poor radar targets because of their small
cross section.  The "rays" pretty much all go the same speed, 2.99e+08
m/s.  Variations in the amplitude of the returned signal (as might be
caused by rotating spokes) are removed by limiting amplifiers in the
radar receiver.  The radar signal processor detects the change of the
change in phase, of the received signal with respect to time, with
respect to the transmitted signal  (change in frequency - Doppler shift).
For radar, since it goes out and back, frequency shift is given by:

            dF  = 2V/l
where:
            dF   (delta F) change in frequency
             V   target velocity
             l   (lambda)  wavelength of transmitted signal

example:
         A motorcycle is approaching a police radar transceiver
operating in X-band (10.525 GHz) at 100 Km/h.  What frequency is
produced in the transceiver' detector?

             l = c / F  
               = 2.99e8 / 10.525e9
               = .028 m  (wavelength)

              100 Km/h = 27.78 m/s

             dF = 2V / l
                = 2 * 27.78 / .028
                = 1984.3 Hz  (Doppler shift)

Note that since waves are waves, and they all go at the same velocity
(according to my high-school physics), the calculations are identical for
light-frequency systems.

Ain't science grand?

You're quite right, Alan.  The radius is greater turning right but I still
went faster turning left.  It was purely a psychological thing.  I have this
ability to stand back from myself and watch what I am doing and thinking (it's
called schizophrenia I/we think :) )  and I was definitely more nervous going
round the right-hander.  Weird, ain't it?  Bike was fine, a '75 RD350B with
the same clearance on both sides.  (Ace bike!)

  Ground braking?  How so?

  Fast?  Not really - all the present top sport bikes have faster quarter-mile
times.  Most present 750's have a higher top end.

  Macho?  Lost me on this one.  Must be a subjective thing.  I think most of

Well, not speakin' from experience (as you'll soon see why), what about
this contraption that ladies wear to pull their jackets/vests tight.  It
is basically two clamps facing in opposite directions connected by a 1" or 2"
piece of fabric.  The clamps are much like those used on suspenders.  You
could attach them to jacket and pants.

I'm confused.  Is this a local nickname, or is it another case of them
reusing a model name?  The only Spagthorpe Chihuahua I know about was built
about 25 years ago under license in Italy (by Motoveta di Travitori? one of
those little manufacturers no longer in business) using most of the
original Chihuahua design, but never sold under the Spagthorpe or Chihuahua
name.

I say 'most' of the design because they could never get the original
3-cycle engine to work right, eventually devolving it to a 2-cycle plus
pedals for production purposes.  The engine design is also why it was never
produced in England as part of the marque.

Anyway, it was never sold in Italy either.  The Italians were the OEM for
what was sold in the USA as the (AMF) Harley Davidson M-50 Leggero.  Over
4,000 of the 50cc (and later 65cc) machines were sold before Harley
Davidson got out of the moped business.  And never a mention of Lord
Spagthorpe was made in any of the H-D literature.

Have to agree on this one.  Having recently returned to biking after a 
ten year hiatus, I was struck by the near universal styling commitment to 
appeal to 18 year old males from SoCal. Happy to see some variation in 
the form of the "retro" trend, but I'm afraid that any hope of
manufacturers (esp the Big Four Japanese) making a serious effort to 
style their bikes in a more utilitarian direction ignores the fact that
they still see their primary market as viewers of Beverly Hills 90210.
