    Greetings! My name is Wade Bartlett. I am no longer accepting new cases at MFES, but can be reached at 603-923-8077 or wade.bartlett@gmail.com for support on old cases. For new cases, please visit The Crash Lab at https://thecrashlab.com/ to set the gears in motion. I will leave this page up for informational purposes for at least a while. The papers and essays are mostly related to things that interest me: friction testing, motorcycle dynamics, driver and rider performance and behavior, and event data recorders.
