    Nice to see you assuming I have a chip on my shoulder, for not wanting to run at an event, that I have never even entered.

    I haven't bagged it, tried to warn anyone off, bad mouthed, or in any way defamed the event or it's organisers. I simply don't want to ride there.

    Long windle is made the same as the LCR alloy monocoque, I have an article here somewhere and I think it is Terry Windle they interview who tells them he can build a tubular just as good and the monocouque is just fashion

    In the video Kai is talking about they do a lap of the same track on both of them, the tubular with leading link is meant to be a bit more forgiving than a monocoque and easier to ride
    That one in the add has a LCR type rear end while most of them have a swingarm

    Windle's got a point there...if both tube frame and monocoque can be built down to the weight limit while being adequately stiff - and the tube frame is easier to make and repair - it is just fashion.
    Remember, Windle built a run of carbon fibre monocoques - and L Christian came over to have a look at the first one built, smiled and said, Very nice - but not necessary....

    That's my question though. Can it be done?

    That was exactly Terrys point

    I think they made at least three and they had some good success winning Euro champs and a bit of other stuff but were a bit more fragile in crashes and a lot harder to repair

    There' still at least one around in the UK

    actually, on the any other sunday interview with terry windle, he says the monocoque is easier to repair. you simply unstitch the affected parts and stitch in new parts and the chassis will handle/feel just like new. tubular you can twist and write off the whole thing...

    just what i saw on tv anyway haha

    Yea that would be true from my limited knowledge of the metal Monocouque, but not a carbon fibre one.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Yeah because the monocoque is made in sections which is why you can upgrade the older LCR to the post 95 front end quite easily

    He was talking more about the building of them than the repair, I'll try and dig the article out

    its my swingers birthday today, mrs eddie painted him a picture of us from our second race in Timaru:

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	IMG_0580.JPG 
Views:	29 
Size:	703.2 KB 
ID:	271159

    shes done a painting of herself on my roadbike if anyones seen it. Girls got talent, she did me a Shelby Cobra too since its a wee dream car for one day.

    if anyones got a cool photo they want done on a big canvas or something you should hit her up. She would prob want a dollar or two but would be cheap for the hours that go into it.
