Abstract
This paper reports the results of testing conducted to determine the post-upset sliding friction factor on asphalt pavement for a sport motorcycle equipped with a full coverage fairing. A literature review revealed limited data regarding this type of motorcycle. Therefore, these tests were conducted and are reported in the interest of adding to the database available to accident investigators.
