@PudseyPedaller @AlanMyles8 @ChrisC_CFC @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 Your argument hold true if we pretend professional table tennis doesn't exist. Just discovered a ball takes 0.1 seconds to cross the table from a fast serve

@ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 Happy new year to you and yours too, but honestly you should watch it he's incredible I reckon its almost half a second from where Alan has it he makes that decision. Think am off on speed though down to 22-25ms by then the 2. Something min version has more angles

@AlanMyles8 @ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 And at the point you show you would likely expect a rider of Dudek's caliber to collect it but be slowed. His initial move is likely half safety and half line change to take advantage. Its an SGP no quarter given

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@AlanMyles8 @ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 He reacted to where Dudek stopped, he rolled off when he saw the inevitable crash hence using 110kph the reaction to where Dudek stopped is much later. It would be massively unexpected for a rider to stop that quick, you would have expected Dudek to travel toward fence mid T3

@ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 Because its all part of how you react so quickly, ps did you watch the lingren Dudek video, most impressive bit is not the reaction time but the choice he makes, some very hard metal in certain parts of his anatomy. He's definitely elite, best rider to not win world championship

@HidingSmith @AlanMyles8 @ma33499357 Many touchscreens above the line of the dash, many things you want to be aware of on nearside so is in the way plus I don't want a big lit up thing in my peripheral vision. Agree buttons good as you dont have to look at them to work em

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@HidingSmith @AlanMyles8 @ma33499357 Absolutely re the bonnet, but does impact visibility, not as much as that big touch screen many cars have. Re parking even if you reverse in two suvs with blacked out rear windows each side most of your bonnet is sticking out before you have a good view,

@ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 You won't see him do it till the slow motion kicks in

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 It's Malilla he'll be travelling at 30ms at that point the 0.7 reaction time would put him 22 m away, I'd say its closer to 10 maybe 12 but time it takes to wind the throttle back on shift weight and wind the bike round the sprocket you likely looking at 0.3 reaction time

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 Watch the video why do they all look to the side?

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@PudseyPedaller @ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 I'm not I simply pointed out my reaction time, someone said impossible so I pointed out a peer reviewed journal with measurements. They then claimed these were elite sportsmen and I wasn't. Caveat elite for me back in the day too much of a stretch. But reaction times are genuine

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@PudseyPedaller @ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 Was more referring to anticipation, depending on setup you watch the magnets or the lever on the slider. To get advantage where you can. Driving the same, you calculate everything before you react quicker. Didn't have to think about what to do only option was to stop

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@PudseyPedaller @ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 We were not talking about roads there, but agree Bi.rminham is quite bad for that some if it makes you shudder. But small % I would imagine the greatest reason is incompetence of drivers coupled with lack of taking driving seriously enough or respecting laws enough.

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@ChrisC_CFC @muddydwarf @PudseyPedaller @AlanMyles8 @PhillisMinaj @bigsteeno @ma33499357 Delay of 1-4 seconds on the equipment we used to measure. Now am gonna have to measure it properly but will take a while for me to organise. Now I have to know, will keep you informed

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@HidingSmith @AlanMyles8 @ma33499357 Yep always drive with window open as can hear more. Visibility also massively reduced by safety measures, thick A pillars higher bonnet etc safer for occupants not those outside. Dont get me started on lack of visibility if two suvs parked each side of your parking space

[The Bear of Wisdom @thebearofwisdom]

@HidingSmith @AlanMyles8 @ma33499357 Did you read the bit about me shadowing the brake pedal, I was ready. What was unpredicted was that after coming to a stop the driver would set off again despite looking at me
