Default The Golden Ratio

Ever wondered the "real" reason the KLX250 looks so good?

In a recent post Brian(NoBrakes) mentioned the "Golden Ratio".
Very interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

Well if you look at the ratio of wheelbase to seat height.
1435mm (56.5 in) to 885mm(34.8 in).!!!!![sm=jawdrop.gif]

Man if that's not the "Golden Ratio" then what is. [sm=exactly.gif] (Well rounded to 2 decimal places,1.62)

mmmmm I should get out more.

that's really funny... i thought we were gonna be talking about some sort of building design or something... during the first couple of years in my design study it seems that that was about all we talked about. (stuff that doesn't really matter but somehow has been mistaken for the most important bull$h!t)

nice research there neil

I thought it was a broken collar bone, not a knock on the head?

Still Brian, I tickled my fancy.

What's the world coming to if a man can't enjoy the odd math moment between beers?
