Re: theTRUTH

Hey Harkey, Haven't seen the Paris Dakar (this year), but electric off roaders are going great guns in general! Theres a purity to them that I imagine is a little like sailing vs motor boating. Oh, I'll be in the long bike queue in 2022 ... something about once you go long you never go back, is that...

Re: theTRUTH

Hi Everyone, Hope all your preparations for 2022 are going well. I've just realised I didn't do a post event wrap up ... which seems a bit rude. I've also got some kind-of-big news for 2022, so here we go! On the way out from iron Knob I was following a big truck when I hit the big sandpit ... lucki...

LS3 motor, fuel and electronics from theTRUTH

Re: Off season shed therapy

Looks brilliant! Also can’t wait to hear it run.

Re: Speed Week 2021 Update

Great news all around! Really appreciate all your hard work in pretty horrible circumstances. Let's hope the authorities have similarly good news on the 25th.

Re: theTRUTH

Hey Stayt'ie,

Awesome! Is that the one by Walkingpace? His looks a lot like the old Widowmaker's by E.J.Potter.

Be brilliant seeing both near the start line at the same time.

Re: theTRUTH

Hi All, The right side is going remarkibly well ... in part because practice makes perfect, but mainly because Wray Schelin's Flexible Shape Pattern technique is so intuitive. Where the upper left side took all day to make the upper right took a couple of hours, with most of that making the pattern ...
