    It's actually about time we had an update eh Bogan?

    Has it broken any land speed records? Is it entered at the IOM?

    I think it's about time you came over and had a go. Been putting a few kms on it, otherwise no updates...

    Yeah, that'd be great. Will have to take you up on the offer at some stage.

    Kicked it up a notch today with some pillioning! Was a bit slower uphill and accelerating, but got there alright. Bit wobbly on the low speed stuff, but that would just be down to the higher center of gravity with a pillion (who has a nice high center of gravity herself ). Pity the ammeter stopped working, would have been interesting to see if there was much extra current draw for the additional weight.

    So - just to save me going back and finding it.... Batteries.

    Are the new lithium iron ones like the shorais (sp) on the horizon for their amazing lightness or are the charge / discharge characteristics wrong?

    Yeh, I'm thinking they are on the horizon, about 2-3k for a pack plus battery management systems, say 3.5k all up, will give me almost double the torque, probably over twice the range, and maybe lose a few kg. But also on my horizon, a vtr1000, and a lot more machinery for the garage, could be some time!
