Threshold Braking: Why is it "free" at higher speeds?

You already reached a deceleration rate of 0.8g's at lower speed
If you can average 0.8g stops at lower speeds, it's easier to do it at higher speeds
Rolling coefficient of friction is lower at higher speeds

Dragging a Peg: Why should you lean your body into a turn if you drag a peg?

Lean Angles: Why is a lean angle of 30 degrees half of a lean angle of 45 degrees?

Lateral acceleration (g force) is double at a 45-degree angle compared to a 30-degree angle
Engine guards are twice as far from the ground
It's harder and harder to increase the lean angle, the higher it is

Gravity Surprise: Why does a motorcycle "fall" up instead of down when braking in a curve?

Quick Stops: Why is it harder to practice quick stops at 30mph than at 60mph?
