Does a shadow weigh anything?

[Ironbutt]

I think people shadows are light as a feather-look at him fly by..

Motorcycle shadows are as heavy as motorcycles..

Deep, very deep, oh Zen master...

According to the Honda website, a Shadow has a curb weight of 549 lbs...

Ahh yes.. I've done some consulting on the newly translated 'Motorcyclists Tao Te Ching'..

Thunder and Shadows: the image of RACING
Thus the superior man stands firm
And does not change his direction, lest he get run over.

fewer photons. lighter than light.

The last shadow I had was a Honda, and it weighed about 700 lbs...

Never mind... Physics and BARF / oil and vinegar.

Depends, ride faster if the shadow is too heavy..A blur is lighter.

the tao that can be spoken of is not the true tao.

 

[channelcat]

yeah, the true tao says hunting and racing madden the mind..

Silence!

The shadow knows.

What is the sound of one shadow clapping?

And finally, Dog!

That is to say:

First there is a shadow, then there is no shadow, then there is

 

[carries an axe]

wut are you all blathering about

Photons travel at the speed of light, and have no mass theoretically. So a shadow not only weighs nothing, but it does not exist.

". . .steps out of the shadow and says something like; 'you and me babe, how 'bout it?' "

That was the first thought I had...

I watched footage last night at Sonoma... racer had a rearward facing camera, was turning in to 11 (hairpin right hander), and another racer had thought he might try an inside pass, did not set it up right at all, realized his mistake, grabs a fistful of front to avoid t-boning the guy with the camera, and as we watch in slow motion, he stoppies, then endoes...
So I'm going to say the Superior Racer chooses a better line so he can stand firm!

Might not want to stand too close when you step out of the shadows...

Technically, since sunlight is energetic, it imparts a force against whatever it hits. The force of sunlight is approximately 4 pounds per square mile.

So, you could argue that a shadow has negative weight.

Science!

Touché--

Isolated through opposition,
One meets a like-minded man
With whom one can associate in good faith
Despite the danger, no blame.
