Thinking about motorbike engineering, the first thing that springs to most peoples' minds are the nuts and bolts: the incredibly complicated moving engine parts, hydraulics and all the other things that you'd entrust a mechanic to fix with his toolbox. But that's just one part of the bigger picture. Amidst the steel and carbon there's a verifiable web of wires, connecting and crisscrossing microcomputers and sensors all over the bike. They're the nerves that drive the metal muscles of the machine - and they've been here for much longer than you may think.
In this episode, Mat and Peter are diving straight into the electronics. So get ready for high tension and sparks as we go from the earliest traction control systems to prehistoric data loggers and the modern use of fly-by-wire design. Cheers!
