2. Bicycle and motorcycle geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

   Trail decreases as head angle increases (becomes steeper), as fork offset increases, or as wheel diameter decreases. Motorcyclists tend to speak of trail in relation to rake angle. The larger the rake angle, the larger the trail. Note that, on a bicycle, as rake angle increases, head angle decreases. Trail can vary as the bike leans or steers.

3. Caster angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

   Caster angle and trail both influence the steering, albeit in different ways: caster tends to add damping, while trail adds "feel" and returnability. The caster wheel on shopping carts are an extreme case – the system is undamped but stable, as the wheel oscillates around the "correct" path. The construction has relatively high trail, but no ...

   Finally, even the profile of the front tire can influence how trail varies as the bike is leaned and steered. A measurement similar to trail, called either mechanical trail, normal trail, or true trail, [46] is the perpendicular distance from the steering axis to the centroid of the front wheel contact patch.

5. Honda VTX Series - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_VTX_Series

   The Fury's design went beyond the domain of traditional Honda cruisers and onto full-out chopper turf, having austere bodywork on a faux-hardtail frame with a high-mounted steering head and long fork tubes that made the rake angle conspicuous at 38 degrees, The caster angle being 32 degrees with 6 degrees added into the steering yokes, [30] A ...

6. Chopper (motorcycle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(motorcycle)

   Before there were choppers, there was the bobber, a motorcycle that had been "bobbed", or relieved of excess weight by removing parts.With the intent of making the bike lighter and faster, the fenders would often be removed, or at least to make it look better in the eyes of a rider seeking a more minimalist ride.

7. Chopper (propeller) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(propeller)

   Unlike a cleaver the chopper's trailing edge extends aft with a large chord line at each radius. Choppers provide good acceleration and top speed and generally have relatively high rake, which has the effect of increasing the boat's angle of attack without changing the motor trim. This trimming effect is mistakenly called 'bow lift'.

8. Bobber (motorcycle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobber_(motorcycle)

   Bobbers are typically built around unmodified frames, while choppers use either highly modified or custom-made frames. [13] Chopper frames are often cut and welded into shape. A bobber is a motorcycle that has undergone a ‘bob-job’ (hence the moniker 'Bobber'), that is, had extraneous parts removed for simplicity and weight-reduction.
