Johannesburg
The other day they closed our parking seeing as they are going to blow up that building for new development. This made that i had to park 6 or 8 blocks away from where I work, so I had to walk to the office. For the 1st time I actually noticed what jozy look like up close. I was so used to seeing it from a car, you drive past everything and dont see the place it has become. During my walk i kept my phone and laptop as close as possble and walked as fast as I could. I did take some images from the parking building once i got there. Here they are. Where is the good old Jozie we all loved? It is not all bad! There are some nice photos I took from the 12th floor and from the roof of absa towers. Stunning view!
Good Times!
Every weekend for me is great, but once in a blue moon you have one of those weekends that just rock your world. every thing that is awesome and wonderfull happens all at once.
Research has started
Gyroscopic forces, centrifugal, and centripetal forces. Which is responsible for taking a corner on a motorcycle. How does the bike stay stable, and why does it not drop to the ground when leaning at an angle of 45 degrees or less.
Behold the power of wikipedia! I have found tons of information which i have to read, study, en then make my own article around this. If the dynamics of counter steering interest you, just keep an eye on this blog. You will love this. When I am done, it will be the most complete, and most acurate article on this well sought after topic. Feel free to add your own comments. I will show how all 3 forces work together to make your sweeping bend a work of art.
Look at the angle of his front wheel. It points away from the the turn. This is counter steering!
It’s ALIVE!!!
Finaly,

PS: This is me being a kid again. Climbing a tree has always been fun!!
Hello world!

About me!
Who is this Ben Character any ways?
Well there lies a question and a half! I am of personality type INTJ (which means i am probably smarter than you ha-ha, just kidding) Have a look at http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp for the TEST, and to find out if you are as smart is me http://www.personalitypage.com/high-level.html
This is me. Click me to enlarge :
This image was taken at on a friend’s farm about 500km outside of Johannesburg. It is one of the best places to clear my mind when the view of the world becomes hazy. Seeing as how much I love hiking this is an amazing place to do some walking as well. This is a rather large piece of land, so doing a 20 mile hike in some of the most beautiful parts of south africa is easy. It is all the fresh air far away from the city. The city with all it ’s noise and the buzz in my mind 24/7 can some times get to much!
Any ways back to me:
Interests:
Motorcycles, Fast and flashy cars, painting the town red almost every chance i get. But then also:
Hiking in the pure beauty that Africa has to offer. Diving in the ocean and seeing the largely untouched and unpolluted part of nature under water. The study of cultures, both local and international. Travel to all the corners of the world. When i have a chance and money of course i love to travel and experience other cultures. I try to see at least one country a year. We get so wrapped up in our own little lives. Sometimes on the internet you can get a glimpse of what other countries are like, but that is only teasers. having the Experience in real life is what it is all about! Seeing another culture living life their own way, and then learning about it brings massive joy and pleasure to me. Understanding the way that others experience life, and the whole science behind it fascinates me!
That is it for now. I may expand on this section a little later still.
