HighLUX Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 sounds like a sweet idea, pity I lack the skills/time/motivation to build something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Good evening sirs, I would like to express an above average interest in regards to proposition for a casual banter about the aforementioned racing of motorised bicycles. If it is not too much bother, I would like to participate in such a gathering of steeds with my scooter. Live long and prosper, Simon.

Toucan Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Keen for watch, not awesome enough to build my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Oh go on, just sticky tape an engine to a pair of wheels, splash some gas on it, and bam, you're away! After weeks of trying, I got the clutch basket off my elbion gearbox, only to find I need a 40mmish tube socket to get the cog off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'd be keen as fuck but sadly will be at the wrong end of the cuntry. There is also a really sweet drome in hamiltron too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Are all these drome's made to the same spec? As in length and banking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nah pretty sure they're each different. The wellington one looks boss as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 That one seemed pretty standard to me with hardcore banking around the ends and levelled out flat on the straights. I think they can vary in length/distance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wellington one does look uber sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Pitty, if they were built to a standard, we could have had a country wide lap record/leader board or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunta Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wellington one does look uber sweet Fuckin a it does!!!!!! gets a little blury at times!!! Glad to see u guys are gettin into this !!! looking forward to national meet / beach racing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbie Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 they are all pretty similar. some prolly bank more than others but at a guess would say they are a standard length all go around a rugby sized feild / running track./ need to steal some surveying gear and check it out.

Steelies Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 standard drome should be 400m. welly one is, and using a ruler on the computer screen says the fielding one is too. for a 400m drome - 1440 divided by lap time in seconds = average kph. just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'll be out on the beach at invercargill, burt munroe styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
