Topic: Let’s accelerate the globe!

[Deltarider]

This forum being so succesfull, I’ve been thinking of an event in which we could all participate. We have our bikes ofcourse, but a come together would be a bit difficult for practical reasons like oceans and stuff. What else was there that we had in common? Then it struck me like lightning: it’s the old globe right under our feet! Now if only I could bring the two together…
Well… here is the plan! Let us all, on an agreed date and time, take our bikes to the road and line up in the same direction. Now, remember, the world turns from west to east, so it has to be heads west, tails to the east. Then, and on exactly the same second we will all – worldwide - open our throttles and accelerate as fast as we can. What I remember from classes in physic is, that when a force is exercised on a round object like a wheel or a ball, that object will … etc, etc. Well… the world is such a ball, isn’t it?! That means that if we would all combine our horsepower at the very same moment, there is a good chance we can accelerate the globe a bit and knock a few seconds of the dreary 24 hours it takes her now to complete a turn. Wouldn’t that be something?!
Days will never be the same and clocks worldwide will have to be adjusted. Not to mention we’ll all live longer too!!!
Can you see the picture?! Terry in Australia will hand extra bikes to friends to create maximum momentum down under, Dusterdude will pull his weight in Virginia, creating clouds of dust in the process, Raúl and party will be high in the sierras for maximum spin. Britain will be Great again when Bryanj conducts a whole army of screaming 400fours and the German CB Four Club will swarm out in unprecedented numbers melting down their autobahn tarmac. To add glory and provided it runs east to west, I suggest the illustre French Amicale will do their run down the Champs Elyssees. I myself will see I can tickle the sleepy Dutch Four Club by distributing some nitro. Ofcourse we have to organise this well. Crucial is we all start at the very same moment. And ofcourse, on reaching red zone in top gear, you mustn’t commence to break. That would counteract the effort. Just relax and let your bike roll out.
As soon as we know who we can count on, we’ll pick a date. Let’s hear it!

That would be freaking sweet.  I in.

[heffay]

please put me down for the aforementioned grip twisting.   

fantastic idea!  although, my geophysic-scientist girlfriend would have a heyday w/ your logic.

 Should of known your from Amsterdam. Now put that thing out.

[dustyc]

What if we all go the other way and try to stop the world so we can get off?

[Steve F]

Should of known your from Amsterdam. Now put that thing out.

Yeah, I want what HE'S smokin'

[Bob550four]

ok. listen carefully.    PUT THE BONG DOWN AND STEP AWAY!   
Seriously, I did get a good laugh out of that.

[cbass*gxc]

Actually I like dustycs idea, that way we get more time to ride.

I think during one of his bong induced hazes Deltarider stumbled upon the idea of a global clock adjusting service. So,,, before investing any kroners? he's figured out a way to drum up a client base. Jbird

Will those closer to the equator have more or less affect than the others ?

[Patrick]

OK, I'll do it, but only with my K5 750. If I did it with the K0 750 it would probably have disastrous effects - towers across the globe crumbling to the ground, jet aircraft overshooting the runway by a whole continent, small children thrown into space, that kind of stuff. I already have enough trouble preventing the bike from throwing huge chunks of pavement through the windshields of vehicles behind me. I can only use a quarter throttle and I had to sand down my tires to decrease their grip.

 But I'm game.....

I think I got a contact high from his post.

Oh yeah - thanks!

Interesting how many of you associate the origin of my plan with smoking. Far from it. My sinuses are very sensitive and will start aching at any smoke within a 5 meter radius. BTW, I can assure you that in my hometown smoking of the above mentioned substances is mostly a tourist thing. Let's not digress. My plan originated after reading a book by this Einstein fellah, The Unbearable Relativity of Species. Forget his name, that man will never make it! It's in fact the worst science-fiction novel I've ever read. Maybe you'd better not ask how I found out. *3&#@!!
Back to our plan. We need support from all continents. Let's hear it: Yes - we - can!

Not only am I thinking globally about this but also in a cosmic way.

Here we all are, sucked onto the planet. The planet is stuck in its orbit around the sun. Stuck in the milky way. Dark energy, dark matter...Time, the universe and everything...Number 47..It's all coming together for me.

Short answer, I'm in.....

[GeoffT]

I'm not sure about this.

Its Ok for the rest of you but I'd have to ride to Stromness!

Geoff, I bet you rarely get your 400 into second on that pile of seagull droppings. .... now the M62

Now now Sam!  Its a 550 

I must confess I rarely take it over 60 but there are plenty of opportunities to go a bit quicker than that! If no one is looking.  As for the M62  - when I have the bike south I like to keep away from motorways they are boring.

Anyway Kirkwall to Stromness is about as East West as it gets here. Is 15 miles enough for the acceleration.

What speed do we all need to do?
