    Simple physics: constant nett angular momentum

    Hmmm I don't remember that from my physics classes, but I suppose yeah if the wheels slow down the spinning energy has to go somewhere right?

    I demand a demonstration in a nearby park some weekend!

    Sure! I replaced the broken suspension bit. Damn I forgot how cheap this hobby is once you've overcome the initial purchase: a set of all 4 upper and lower swingarms for the front suspension was $8.

    A set of things for $8...?! Someone has their retail psychology calibration all wrong. It's not about constant markup ratios, it's about how much you would pay on the spot having travelled all that way for something that your machine won't work without... viz. Sony's earbud spongy bits: new headphones with spongy bits = $35; set of replacement spongy bits = $20. Awesome!

    And meantime, Ben, go play DirtBike for an hour or so and rekindle that instinct for throttle on = backspin, throttle off = nosedive. Good-o!
