The Chapter 19. Taxiing - reference taxiing
In places you concern a motorcycle? On what you rested at
taxiing? Whether more difficultly to taxi, if you do not have firm bearing?
Whether there are places for a bearing at taxiing? What designs of a
motorcycle from them correspond?
Error at shifting
The reference taxiing means efficiency. I have paid attention to this
method, when has noted, that 90 % of my students can not fast shift bike on
the right - on the left - to the right, as it is done by the racers,
attempting to warm up trunks. Not, that bike did not turn. Simplly racer
dragged it from the party in the party under itself, as in cross-country
race instead of shifting it, moving together with it.
For a motorcycle going on mineral pitch, such style does not approach, he
causes to use large, than it is necessary, angle of leans, that does taxiing
by extremely unefficient. You see if you can pass turn by smaller angle of
lean at a preset speed, it goes only on advantage and you and bike. Contrast
of moving in a rig - hooking. It just gives that is necessary in turn -
smaller corner at a preset speed. Let's consider hooking more dital.
My discovering
Piloting 250-cc Grand Prix, I have made interesting discovering. On Road
America there is a lengthy and fast turn, which one needs to be driven on a
footstep or sixth transfer. So, the taxiing on a men lasts approximately 3 1
seconds, or even longer. It in two - four times is more, than usually. And
more I have noted, that, despite of a rough surface of a route and the
incessant acceleration, bike does not yaw, as it usually happens in that
case. And on a following circle I have noted a striking thing there is I has
used an external step as fulcrum
The riddle was settled. My weight was lower on 12 in.s, than if I rested
on a saddle or tank. Therefore motorcycle also did not yaw.
Reallocating of weight
Usages of an external step as fulcrums, besides that the working point is
on a control surface (you it thrust or both thrust and pull), reduces your
weight applied on a saddle, and transfers a part it in more low point. And
unless bike will not be straightened if to be rested against an external
step? At all no, do not overlook about a gyroscopic effect created by
sprockets.
Actually, as your weight becomes closer to a center of mass, to taxi
begins is more lighter. The motorcycle is turned around of a center of mass,
so that the weights there more is massed, the is more lighter to turn.
Besides the stability is enriched. Your body any more does not work, as a
satellite located far from center. Bike "thinks", that you become closer to
his center of mass.
Force of a body
One more advantage - you become is stronger. Than more lever the better.
The racer will use for a bearing most distant from a control surface a
point. All other fulcrums do not give such strong effect.
Besides you can better use muscles of a torse for taxiing. Any other
fulcrum hinders completely to involve these muscles. Certainly, it is
possible to do without and them, but with them is more lighter to taxi. You
see at taxiing the counterforce tries to turn your torse, and than better
muscles resist to her, the more stable design.
Moving in a rig
At moving in a rig the racer has no fulcrum and is compelled to use for
stabilization all weight of a body. It how to attempt to thrust something,
floating in water - you too rejects. Besides such style demands pressure
almost of all muscles of a body, that results in a unjustifiable fatigue.
Advantage
Even if you will be rested by an elbow against a tank, will push legs to
a lining, lie on a tank by a chest, densely sid in a saddle, will rest legs
against steps and from all forces will shrink a control surface, all of you
equally do not receive such advantage, as though you simplly have used
reference taxiing with fulcrum only on an external step. The reference
taxiing completely corresponds to a machine design and provides such
stability of taxiing, which one cannot be reached by other ways. But in all
the skill is necessary, spend the time for development of this method.
Remark, on and also other kinds of motorcycles
with borne forward by steps, this method does not work. The rule of a step
eliminates its usage as fulcrum.
Where and when
You should be retrained to run in power taxiing. It has taken me
approximately 2,5 hours, then I applied this method automatically. On the
other hand, once I learned the "street" driver, the speed of taxiing which
one was somewhere in region of three balls on a ten-mark scale. We worked
basically above contr-taxiing and reference taxiing. And only in 1,5 hours
for it began a little to receive in one turn from 20.
I long could not understand, why for it so slowly studies, has not
thought yet, that actually tests double difficulties. You see he
simultaneously masters and contr-taxiing and reference taxiing. He simplly
is afraid to choke bike too fast. So that you at improvement of this method
should overcome the pavor and to be massed on exact fulfilment of exercises.
Fulcrums
Actually any fulcrum is useful. See at equipment of the foremans. An
internal surface of their hoses dirty, because they rest by it on a tank
during taxiing. The aluminium parts of motorcycles up to lusters there,
where them concern raning boots. An internal surface trousers and seat of a
motorcycle are worn there, where they are abuted. And so on. To put it
briefly, at reference taxiing you can use any fulcrums and their speed keys,
if only it was beneficial for efficiency and accuracy of taxiing.
Exercise
For the beginning define, what fulcrums you usually will use. Then try to
apply reference taxiing and compare outcomes. You will remark, that the
left-hand turns differ from dextral, it because of control of gas. At turn
to the right you can both thrust and pull, can only thrust. At turn on
the left - to the contrary. Actually, it practically does not influence
efficiency, the method works equally well in both cases.
Interestingly, as though you have called this method? Taxiing diagonally?
You see you will use inverse points as fulcrum and working point. Center
taxiing? You you see as though taxi from a center of mass. New
taxiing? You see it is new technology. I name it by reference taxiing, as
you taxi with the help of definite and stable fulcrum. Call as want, main,
what is it works high performancely.
For the beginning try to use as fulcrum a seat, then elbow, and so
step-by-step come nearer to usage of a step. This method will supply
stability in fast-track turns. DG
