MT27 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 A friend sent me a link for a Ghezzi-Brian MG that is for sale. It's rough. Not a fan of the frame color. Those front rotors are hard to miss. I would love to put a hundred or so miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted July 26, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2018 I thought Buell was the only one with front rotors like that. I learned something today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT27 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 One of the motorcycles at the Barber Museum has what looks like normal dual disc. If you spin the front wheel the rotors spin in the opposite direction of the wheel. This was to help counteract the gyroscopic effect of the wheel spinning.

I thought gyroscopic effect was a good thing and keeps us from falling down as we roll down the road? DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT27 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think they did it to make the steering quicker or if the two gyroscopic effects cancel each other out it might give the rider more feel. Not sure . It's one of the bike designs that I would like to have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They been throwing and spinning round pizza dough into the air long before any wheel was made. They know! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
