I am a member of that forum. My boy and I used to be into racing seriously with nitro then switched over to 1/8th scale electric and some 1/10th flashlight as well. Used to argue with Dawn Sanchez and Aaron Waldron regularly about what should be the "standard" 1/8th scale electric battery. They wanted 4S and I argued for unlimited. Why try and stifle development was my arguement. It has been a long time since I was on that forum though, used to screw with the Team Terrible turds pretty regularly! What a bunch of clowns they were.

 

I'm on the slowest of all Superhawks, a poor blue one. That's ok though, because I look good on it!

 

Technically, light all travels the same speed through like mediums, but since we're having fun here... we can attempt to quantify the speeds in frequency (since speed of light = c = constant =~ 3.08E8 m/s) relative to red. Basically, we can rate the speed of each color in Hz just like computer processors.

For the sake of making this seem somewhat plausible, we can compare the frequency of the light (cycles per second - 1/s) to laps around the track, which we will also measure in cycles, or laps per second. Of course, in reality your lap time (assuming a nice, even 1:30 time) measured in Hz would work out to 0.011 Hz. There, I hope I have complicated it enough to look believable even though it is utter nonsense.

Sticking with the laps-to-Hz comparison I made above, for every "lap" a red bike does, a blue one does 1.4. It must be true because... um... er... science?

As it turns out, red is the slowest color and violet is the fastest. I guess Ferrari makes up for their slow color by making otherwise awesome cars. Plus, when you have the slowest color and still win the race it makes it even more humiliating for your competition.

For laughs, if you compare a Near-Infrared bike to a Near-Ultraviolet bike, you find that the UV bike is 195% the Near-IR bike, which means it is nearly twice as fast around the frequency track.

Since, in terms of light, white is a combination of all colors, wouldn't that mean that a white bike would be the fastest? Or would it be the slowest? Or would you just be cheating? Either way it would still suck to keep clean.

 

I guess it wouldn't matter in these speeds who is faster, as time actually slowing down to infinite, thus said, we would't be able to come with results any time sooooooon............ to infinite!

 

I belong to 3 or 4 different moto forums - and I agree that SHF is a great place for info.

ADV is a good forum as well & I agree with what your saying about so many posts, but ADV ride reports are excellent.

Lastly, everyone knows RED is the fastest color

 

White is just average.
