  1. started having the cruise kick out when I climb an overpass or hill. Where can I start looking for problems ?
  2. We all know 90 degress plus high humidity means afternoon thunder boomers. Wife and I were on our way to dinner this evening when we got caught on the interstate in a downpour. We got under an overpass to put on our rain coats. Bike was easily 6 ft from the white line. Getting ready to saddle back up, a car vears across the white line. I yelled for Penny to get out of the way. She later told me she though I said some one had a blow out. At that particular overpass, the concrete did not slope up to the bridge above. It was a wall. I started to run around the wall, just knowing this fool was going to rear end the bike. At about 30 to 40 feet from the bike, he swerved back into his lane. As I watched him go by, it was an old (80ish year old) man and his wife. I think he was having trouble seeing in the heavy rain and was going to pull over and saw the bike at the last minute. Had the flashers on plus the LED strip under the trunk and the LED tail light. Got back on the rode and made it safely and mostly dry.
  3. A Backhoe weighing 8 tons is on top of a flatbed trailer and heading east on Interstate 70 near Hays, Kansas ? The extended shovel arm is made of hardened refined steel and the approaching overpass is made of commercial-grade concrete, reinforced with 1 1/2 inch steel rebar spaced at 6 inch intervals in a criss-cross pattern layered at 1 foot vertical spacing. Solve: When the shovel arm hits the overpass, how fast do you have to be going to slice the bridge in half?? (Assume no effect for headwind and no braking by the driver...) Extra Credit: Solve for the time and distance required for the entire rig to come to a complete stop after hitting the overpass at the speed calculated above.? Yes, you can neglect friction.
