What about when the slope is changed as in Figure B? I've gone ahead and retagged the question is an effort to help make the question more obviously align with the purpose of this site. | |

The OP is broadly asking for someone to write a complete and accurate technical/instruction describing two pictures. At the minimum, I think the guidelines indicate OP should attempt to do so first and ask specific questions about their own language use. | |

| Jan 5, 2014 at 21:17 | comment | added | CoolHandLouis | Should this stackexchange be answering this question? Since this concerns safety for (presumably) a public banner, I'm not sure this is strictly an English language learner issue. The question of "translating the picture into words" was described as an "expense issue" and not a "language issue". This question might better be handled by a design-centric community or perhaps even a motorcycle safety organization. What's the purpose of this? Who is the audience? Where will the banner be placed and what other information will be on it? What is the budget and who is paying? | |

| Jan 5, 2014 at 4:46 | comment | added | Jim | Yes, and since the center stand folds that direction, that would be a bad thing to do all the way around. Good thing you drew the picture with the bike facing uphill! | |
| Jan 5, 2014 at 4:35 | comment | added | kiss my armpit | @Jim: How about the case in which the front of the motorcycle facing down the hill? The critical angle may be lower than A. | |
| Jan 5, 2014 at 4:32 | comment | added | Jim | True, but it's alot higher on B. | |
| Jan 5, 2014 at 4:32 | comment | added | kiss my armpit | @Jim: So does B. | |
| Jan 5, 2014 at 4:28 | comment | added | Jim | A only works on inclines below a certain critical angle. | |
