Disclaimer: always warm up your engine before revving the shit out of it

the 1000cc guy realising he has to stay in 1st all the time

It never occurred to me that low rpm means high internal stress.  As someone who also cycles, the bicycle demonstration was perfect.

Imma show this vid whenever an officer asks why i was going 150 on the high way with my 1000cc 4:40

Great line; "You paid for the whole tachometer, so use the whole tachometer."  I'd buy the shirt.

"I'm no engineer, I studied physics like a grown-up." As a fellow physicist this is accurate

My dad always drove at a modest pace. He hated too much high revving. I swear he felt more empathy for lubricated rotating engine components than he ever felt for a human. However, periodically, when an open road presented itself, he would open the throttle all the way and do a series of hard accelerations to max speed until he could no longer see any carbon burning in the exhaust smoke. “Gotta clear out some carbon” and off we would go. As a kid in the early 70’s dad cleaning the carbon out of whatever classic v-8 we owned at the time was my favorite thing.

This guy thinks I have traction control lmao 1:44

Ah, yes... FortNine. The best place to go, when your bike is parked.

Me: ‘But Officer, the motorcycle guru Fortnine said that I had to ride the tits off it.’   Cop:  ‘Actually he said to rev the tits off it.  And he didn’t mean do it in 6th gear.’

"You paid for the whole tachometer, so use the whole tachometer!"   Love it.

3:40  you put the spark plug in upside-down :P

It’s always a balancing act, any engineer will tell you that… I’m surprised a Physicist figured this out on his own 😉

As a 50 year rider I think I've gained a sense of when the engine is happy and I try to keep it in that range. Low load, lower engine speeds. Higher load higher engine speeds. If you know how to listen the engine will speak to you.

“I studied Physics like a grown up” seriously had me rolling.

Sorry officer, I was speeding because I needed to get carbon out of my engine

As James Taylor sings: "It hurts my motor to go so slow" Thanks Ryan and the production team for all the info over the years.

"I'm not an engineer, I studied physics like a grown up" had me on the floor laughing... Why is it that Ryan is always unnecessarily funny 😂

Totally agree. Engines don't like to be lugged, they were designed to spin.

Is it just me or is the spark plug at 3:45 upside down? 😂
