Our goal is to foster and promote safe motorcycle riding through: • Quality rider training programs • Public information campaigns throughout Washington State • Permit and endorsement issuance through comprehensive evaluations . Rider education training courses in Washington are recognized nationally . Training is conducted locally by DOL-approved providers, and subsidized through the use of motorcycle endorsement and renewal fees . For more information on endorsement and permit fees, motorcycle laws, or to find a motorcycle training/testing provider closest to you, visit: dol .wa .gov . Two- and Three-Wheel Motorcycle Endorsements You must have a motorcycle permit or endorsement on your driver license to legally operate a motorcycle on Washington State roadways . State law mandates separate training, testing, and endorsements for two- and three-wheeled motorcycles because of the differences in handling. To lawfully operate: • A two-wheeled motorcycle, you must have a two-wheel (“Class 3” endorsement if license issued prior to June 2017) or (Endorsement L with restriction [J — two-wheeled motorcycle only] for license issued after June 2017) . • A three-wheeled motorcycle (sidecar rig, trike, reverse trike, etc .) you must have a three-wheel (“Class 5” endorsement for license issued prior to June 2017) or (Endorsement L with restriction [J — three-wheeled motorcycle only] for license issued after June 2017) . 1-1 • Both two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, you must have a combined two-wheel and three-wheel (“Class 7” endorsement for license issued prior to June 2017) or (Endorsement L with restriction [J — two-wheeled & three- wheeled motorcycle] for license issued after June 2017) . Your motorcycle may be impounded if it is operated on public roadways without the required endorsement . The current minimum fine for riding without an endorsement is $386. Liability insurance is mandatory for all motorcycles under RCW 46 .30 .020 Obtaining Your Permit/Endorsement You must pass both a basic knowledge and skills test to obtain a permit . You are required to take an advanced knowledge and skills exam to get an endorsement . You can find training/testing providers at: dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/ motoschools .html . Similar to other sports, motorcycling requires specialized physical and mental skill; training and practice are required to develop and maintain these skills. The consequences of not being proficient in this sport are serious injury or even death . Taking additional advanced training to improve your physical and mental riding skills will help you become a safer rider . Washington State Law requires all riders under 18 years of age to satisfactorily complete an approved rider course before applying for an endorsement . Students under the age of 18 must have parental permission to take a training course and apply for an endorsement . Endorsement Fees You can find current motorcycle endorsement fees at: dol.wa.gov/ driverslicense/fees .html Motorcycle endorsement and renewal fees are used to subsidize motorcycle safety training classes, to promote motorcycle safety and awareness throughout Washington State, and for program administration . 1-2 Instruction Permits You must pass a basic knowledge and skills test in order to apply for a 180-day permit to drive on public roadways .

  • Building a Motorized Drift Trike Hayden Pegley
    Building a Motorized Drift Trike Hayden Pegley ASR - F Block - 5/17/2017 Abstract: The goal of this project was to create an affordable motorized drift trike using a ​ hand-welded steel frame, the front half of a used mountain bike, and a 6.5 hp, 212 cc Predator gas engine. The back frame of the trike was welded over the course of several weeks, and components including the axle, front wheel, and throttle system were added after the frame’s completion. While the trike is not fully operational, the throttle system is functional and the trike is near completion. Introduction, Motivation, and History During my freshman year, while conducting an experiment in the Whitaker Lab, I stumbled upon a go kart that an ASR student had recently completed. I was fascinated by the idea of making an operational automobile during high school. I promised myself then and there that I would take ASR and make a go kart of my own for my second semester project. However, as I began the initial research stages for my project and read previous students’ papers, it became clear that making a go kart would not be an original idea. I determined the two aspects of a go kart that made it appealing to me, those being that is was fun and motorized, and continued my search for an alternative project. It was on a go kart parts website that the phrase “drift trike” first popped up. After watching videos of people bombing hills on motorless drift trikes, I was led to multiple instructional videos on how to outfit a drift trike with a gas engine for flatland use [1].

    Keep away from troubles 46 Keep a grip 54 Riding at night 58 Loading up 62 Riding in a group 66 Looking after your bike 70 Staying Alive 44 Staying Alive Staying Alive Anticipation and skill make riding safer and enjoyable The one thing above all others that will keep you safer on the road is your attitude. You can learn as many skills as you like, and be the most technically skilled rider around, but you can throw it all away because you can’t be bothered thinking before you act. Make no mistake about it, the road is a dangerous place, especially on a bike. Staying alive while you are out there is your responsibility. You will find the VicRoads booklet,Discover Safe Riding, a useful guide for developing your skills. 45 Keep away from trouble It might sound simple, but what can’t get at you can’t hurt you. So it makes sense to stay as far away as possible from the things that can hurt you on the road. Survival space The consequences of an error, yours or someone else’s, can be very serious for you as a rider. Survival space is the best protection you can have. The more space you have around you, the more time you have to see trouble and work out a way of avoiding it. Of course, that only works if you keep your eyes open and your mind alert. In front This is the distance between your bike and the vehicle you are following, and you have control over it.

Abbott Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering on January 17, 2014, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering Abstract This work presents a view of balance useful for mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers often need to make quick intelligent decisions using conceptual and physi- cal understanding. The typical mechanical engineering instruction usually provides a good basis for \back of the envelope" calculations, especially for mechanical systems; however, one exception to this case is in the field of dynamics and control. Dynam- ics and control is generally taught with much math, modelling most systems with differential equations. Although math is useful for designing control systems, when designing products for people who act as sophisticated controllers the engineer needs a more general understanding of balance. This work presents a conceptual intuitive way to break the act of balance into distinct mechanisms and thereby quickly evaluate how a system balances.

  • Bicycle and Motorcycle Dynamics - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 16/1/22 上午 9:00
    Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 16/1/22 上午 9:00 Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics is a branch of classical mechanics, which in turn is a branch of physics. Bike motions of interest include balancing, steering, braking, accelerating, suspension activation, and vibration. The study of these motions began in the late 19th century and continues today.[1][2][3] Bicycles and motorcycles are both single-track vehicles and so their motions have many fundamental attributes in common and are fundamentally different from and more difficult to study than other wheeled vehicles such as dicycles, tricycles, and quadracycles.[4] As with unicycles, bikes lack lateral stability when stationary, and under most circumstances can only remain upright when moving forward. Experimentation and mathematical analysis have shown that a bike A computer-generated, simplified stays upright when it is steered to keep its center of mass over its model of bike and rider demonstrating wheels. This steering is usually supplied by a rider, or in certain an uncontrolled right turn. circumstances, by the bike itself. Several factors, including geometry, mass distribution, and gyroscopic effect all contribute in varying degrees to this self-stability, but long-standing hypotheses and claims that any single effect, such as gyroscopic or trail, is solely responsible for the stabilizing force have been discredited.[1][5][6][7] While remaining upright may be the primary goal of beginning riders, a bike must lean in order to maintain balance in a turn: the higher the speed or smaller the turn radius, the more lean is required.

  • Cornering Control: Part 1
    Road Science Cornering Control: Part 1 By David L. Hough Biker Bob just got back into motorcycling, and his new bike seems to have a mind of its own. His new heavyweight machine doesn’t respond the same way his 250cc scrambler did 20 years ago. His scrambler would lean just by throwing his weight toward a turn. Today he’s on his way home from a ride, approaching the narrow side street where he’ll be turning off from the wide boulevard. Bob signals, rolls off the throttle, and leans the bike into a right-angle turn. But the bike doesn’t seem to want to turn as tightly as Bob wants it to. He tries leaning it a little farther by leaning his shoulders toward the right and nudging his left knee against the tank, but the front wheel continues to roll wide, across the centerline. Fortunately, the driver of a car coming up the street sees the bike, and brakes to avoid a collision. It’s embarrassing not being able to control the bike as accurately as he’d like. Bob is not alone. Lots of motorcyclists haven’t figured out how to steer a bike accurately, especially a big bike at slower speeds. The action is down at the front tire contact patch It’s very important to understand that accurate two-wheeler steering is a matter of pushing on the handlebar grips, not just leaning weight in the saddle. Obviously, a bike needs to lean toward the curve in order to turn. And you can make it lean just by shifting your weight in the saddle, or nudging the tank with your knees.

  • URAL How to Ride
    Introduction Motorcycle enthusiasts have been attaching sidecars to their machines since about 1895. Motorcycle/sidecar combinations are alternatively referred to as "rigs," "hacks," "chairs" or "outfits." While combinations continue to be only a small minority of motorcycles worldwide, sidecars are still being built and attached to today's motorcycles. There are probably more outfits on the road than ever before. There are all sorts of sidecar rigs in operation, including some that lean into corners and some with steerable sidecar wheels. But the majority of sidecar rigs are straightforward three-wheelers built by attaching a sidecar rigidly to a motorcycle. The URAL motorcycle/sidecar combinations have been built with the same basic frame arrangement for 55 years, although the operating systems have gradually been refined. There are two basic URAL sidecar combinations, one with a single driven rear wheel and a similar model with both the rear and sidecar wheels shaft-driven. Throughout this manual we will point out differences in handling and operating techniques for the different models. The most important lesson about motorcycle/sidecar combinations is that the resulting three-wheeler is neither a motorcycle nor an automobile, but an entirely different vehicle with very different operating characteristics. Even the veteran motorcyclist with hundreds of thousands of miles of three-wheeled experience becomes a novice when learning to pilot a hack for the first time. Scope The purpose of this manual is to assist the novice sidecar operator to learn how to drive a combination on the street. The manual includes both explanations of basic sidecar riding techniques and driving exercises the novice can practice to gradually build skill.

  • Motorcycle Stability and Steering by Andy Townsend
    Motorcycle Stability and Steering by Andy Townsend “Speed Stabilizes the motorcycle” and “press left, lean left, go left” are two phrases heard by students taking the MRC:RSS rider course. During the course students may be told to “trust us on this one...it REALLY works” Well, it DOES really work, but during the course there is little time to explain why speed DOES stabilize the motorcycle and yes, you DO press the left bar to initiate a turn to the left. So…here are explanations of motorcycle stability and steering! Although reading both sections will give a greater understanding of motorcycle dynamics, the sections do “stand alone”, so read either or both at your leisure! Motorcycle Stability Keeping balanced in a straight line, assuming the road is flat and there is no crosswind, is a matter of keeping the combined Center of Gravity of rider and motorcycle vertically above a line joining the contact patches where the front and rear tires touch the road. If the bike starts to lean there are two ways to correct this and restore the situation where the contact patch line is under the Center of Gravity: 1. Move the Center of Gravity OVER the new contact patch line. 2. Move the tire contact patch line back UNDER the new Center of Gravity. 3. Ever seen someone balance a bike that is NOT moving forward? The primary balance method is moving their body to try and maintain the Center of Gravity over the contact patch line...tricky! A much easier way to balance, once moving forward, is to use method 2: 4.
