kicker

Ooooh me too, I am a man of luxury at the moment so can luxude my way out there

Scored a new seat which actually has some cushioning in it unlike the previous one, got some footpegs ready to go on and have a front pulley ready to be machined

Villiers rep'n hard I'm gutted, sounds like it's going to be off the interlinked metal rings

Choice, interested in seeing how it runs with it Setting timing can be a bit fiddly but not hard, my current timing mark is a line drawn in vivid which I copied from another flywheel

Swish looking frame there, double cradle and errthing

Progress (slow that is)

I'm keen to come along and have a gander

Had a quick look and can only find my motorcycle battery charger which is rated for batteries up to 30ah only

Hey man, I got a trickle charger here doing nothing if you want to borrow it

sniff sniff Yeah I will be at the lodge (seewateyedidthere)

I just cried a little cos I won't be here

I won't be able to make it to Nats unfortunately, missus booked a holiday on the same dates, gutted. I might redesign the front brake as I don't know how effective it will be with the setup in the video, was thinking of turning it into a handbrake setup with a lever that locks it on (for skids) and just using a foot operated rear brake (made from the old villiers kick start pedal with a chain running to the rear coaster brake hub) for slowing duties

Yeah, I got a decent one on there, was a spring off a motorcycle rear brake lever. Hopefully will have drive train progress next week

wot e sed^ Just a normal rear coaster brake, had to spread the forks a bit to get the wider hub in. Wheel can still rotate, no clicky clicky though

Yip, as above I took a video of a mock up but forgot to post it. It needs a bit more leverage so I have a different lever on it now and also have an adjustment mechanism (which is just an old sturmey hub cable adjuster) to go on JYlBC5KRju0

Holy crap, eating that pizza has made me so thirsty

Thursday 1st of March this week, pizza noms

Or go old man spec with a slightly lighter Werthers Original tan colour

^I dug out that frame, will drop it at Pinkies for ya I haven't finished my current one and now I want something built for speed

Dug out my spare flywheel today, it's a sweet brass one I put it on but it wouldn't start, comparing it with the original showed it had a different timing mark so I copied the old one onto it, still wouldn't start, no spark so gapped the points and bam it runs again. If anyone needs to know Timing: With piston at TDC install the flywheel lining up the arrow on it with the arrow on the stator plate Points: Through the flywheel cutouts, slide the points cap retaining arm to the side and remove the brass cover. Adjust as per normal, gap is 12-15 thou

Man this thing sounds/looks/is cool

Perfect night for some racing

Lots of work being done by rival factions so better get going on this. I revised my brake design, silly man why you have back brake when you need front brake for burnouts Rear hub as front hub, just going to run a chain/cable combo to a brake lever

Looks nice and tidy, how does it run?

Yeah some alarms take sim cards and can text you when it's been triggered
