Here is another attempt to try and help some folks understand it. This is Sarah's attempt to dumb down the process of understanding roll center some more.

Ok thanks. Sry I'll try rereading it. I was just hoping there was something I could use in plain english because I'm interested in suspension but don't understand it much.

Since some of the words are too big, here is another spin from another chassis engineer as to what is Roll Center.

Three chassis engineers can't be wrong, can they?

EDIT: Updated first post with MotoIQ links and checked links for operation.
