Reply To: “Weighting the pegs” does NOT lower your center of gravity!

Finding the center of gravity is actually very simple. When an object is suspended so that it can move freely its center of gravity is always directly below the point of suspension. Do this from several different points and where all these imaginery lines intersect is your center of gravity.
Or alternatively, take your motorcycle and rider and turn them upside down. Are you saying the center of gravity now moves down to somewhere in the riders chest? Remember that center of gravity is defined as “the point in any object about which it is in perfect balance no matter how it is turned or rotated around that point”.
