Race chassis

[husaberg]

Oh, dear. I wasn't being rude about your frame, I used it as it had been posted on the thread, you told us the material and its beautiful simplicity made it an easy example. I ignored the question of joining the panels and if the epoxy saturation techniques in the book were followed it would also add significant extra weight.
I actually think your frame would make a perfect engineering textbook study.
Improves on the previous model/competitors, simple, fast and cheap to make requiring no new techniques or tooling and probably could be as good today as when it was built unlike the rivetted ali monocoques which I believe go a bit floppy!
As I feel I've upset you (and Husa) at least a couple of times, I'm going to take a metaphorical back seat and let people with more knowledge and experience than me continue my (free!) education.

I can honestly say i have never been upset by you or any of your posts.
I thoroughly enjoy your post and attachments.

Not a racer but interesting concept.
A rocking horse craddle frame.

Jack Lennie, a product design graduate from the Edinburgh Napier University has come-up with a motorcycle design that can be downloaded by anyone in the world. Called as Tinker this open-source bike can be made in your garage itself provided you have knowledge of CAD/CAM computer software. The main aim of this design is to minimize production cost and also the consequent part manufacturing costs.

Thanks, fellers. Think my sensitivity is a bit skewed as I've spent the last 4 years tip-toeing round a wife invalidded from work with an overwork/stress induced breakdown (Don't believe everything you hear about european civil servants!)
There was a discussion about the Tinker thing on Michael's chassis list. The swinging arm pivot position was queried as being a bit off IIRC.

the left out "AND you have CNC equipment in your garage along with it." Unfortunately, software alone will not create hardware. It sure would be handy if it did.

Yes...I've met a few people who lack the required brain/hand connection....

Greg, I'm a lot better at typing than I am at fine motor skills in the shop. Differentially cranking the X and Y axis handles on a milling machine for a specific curve generally comes out far worse for me than doing it with CNC.

I try to let my robot servants do the fine work.

Enjoy it while it lasts. . . . [Fade to distopic future where the relationship is inversed]

Ted Broad Monocoque replica.
Bloke in the UK is building one with the support of the family of Ted Broad (although the frame was actually built by a pair of sidecar racers, I believe)

Afraid it's F**kbook...

Most interesting bit?

It has lots of Yamaha parts in it, but yes to my continuing shame.

Yeah we hate Honda now, but just remember they did make some lovely 2-strokes in the short period between only making old shit 4-strokes and the current period of only making newer shit 4-strokes.
Mission series, RS125, MB100... just sayin'

what 2 stroke do you run in your
camper?

[F5 Dave]

Ask him if he has a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke car.

I thought you were going to say "get a rota or its not a real motor"

[F5 Dave]

Nah more like. Don't go septic, buy an. . . ,

Camper isn't a Honda, so I don't understand the question

My car is electric, just like bucket bikes will be in a few years.
