ok
you win the joke of the week —— like it
mine wasn’t a book !
your skid s look simple and that’s a plus
my extended frame is 400 mm ( ish ) wide so i need to poke the trainer wheels / skids out from the frame
lots to do before i need to get real serious, but time to think about it

dad joke —— very cruel i’ll get over it i had a passing look @ the Bub out riggers seemed like a very short legged = parallel bar system , air activated I think i have electric linear actuators on my trailer roof , they all come with different spec speed , speed up and down is a factor for me , must...

wow red is always quicker my trainer / stabiliser system i’m leaning towards wheels , and with castors , i can go to scrutineering and steer it upright , mine @ about 4 metres, won’t fit in the “ deluxe “ trailer i took 12 months to make , and the retrieval trailer ( that a few years ago we were all...

out riggers I have been struggling with the concept too 12v acutaors are one idea , air operation is painful ( air supply ) speed of the process is important, didn’t have a close look @ Richard A s and searching doesn’t help a lot wheels or skids ? speed rating of the wheels ? —- some of the down hi...

coffeenobs the bar ends are something i hadn’t heard of , interesting, ! and your early comment about not hitting the other timing pod I was a passenge . I used to wonder how timing equipment was hit / damaged in the past and now i have a better idea ! in “ John Mc Guinness “ book. Built for Speed h...

interesting we get such a short time to test / adjust things it is hard to do changes @ this stage i will remove the swing arm weight remove the “ tabs” on the front guard remove the ram air intakes re consider my front fork travel ( i have limited the travel to about 35mm bump from ride height ) st...

ok ,an update just returned from our speed week , my naked busa scared the living daylights out of me , with a head shake ( poor weight distribution, the main reason ) , this project is “ intended “ to be about a stable in line platform theory is good ! so the CENTRE HUB STEERING has been completed ...

my data shows i did give a surve of throttle during the event i do remember letting the bars go “ light “ ie not fighting it and didn’t apply any rear brake ( something i might bo next time ) though i would be really pleased if i don’t experience that again funny i remember there was a lot of noise ...

Ronnie the bike shook last year when Dave B had a ride , ( 150mph ) i re set / checked head stem bearings , made laser front to rear wheel aligner , ( and now have a “ trammel “ that l use to rear wheel align to the swing arm shaft Dave and i discussed the way we shut down , and seems i shut slower ...

On my first run over the Long Course I had intended to have a run to see what speed the bike could do as it was set up/geared. But after this I decided to pack up and have a rethink: https://youtu.be/wZHu0SIxliM Some will find this pretty funny and I do too NOW after a couple of days off the bike. S...

about to leave for our speed week
i have just picked up the CHS i have had made
some pictures and a serious start to the project when i return
cheers
harky

there are some good pictures there i got the CHS ( centre hub steering) system from the engineering business last week ,so some progress i will not lay down as much as that bike , but steering under my knees is the go , We are nearly packed and ready I am doing the track 2 pre stage , ( Monday AM) B...

ok
relax , the “effect” from the cyclone seems to be sliding west of our playground

belt guard

i’ve seen people tangled in unguarded stuff
and it ain’t nice
blood and screaming ——— still can hear it
and that was 20 years ago

Ronnie 2 smokes require a 7lb pre run stabalilisation , saturation period so the co- efficient between the linea expansion of the rotating bits and the non smoke producing bits can be pre stressed to help with the eardrum destroying noise outcome Dave has it sussd to perfection both in terms of nois...
