    Ack Shirley, there's a guy on the Mrkn VFR Owners forum who was very taken with Dr Foale's stuff, and is making (or has made?) his own Hossack-framed VFR800.
    I must find it and post it...
    (be back in uno momento...)

    ...here we go:
    The Frankenviffer.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    By opening, and using said software, would you not free up some time for other things?

    Bugger Tony Foale and the rest of the alt.suspension nerds who think we all want to ride Hossack forked DN-01s.

    Bugger them and their "revolutionary" changes to the good old bicycle with an engine format. I don't want easy to use transport. I want a bike that scares the sheeple away.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It looks like a neat program, the problem with anything like this is that it's only as good as the data entered into it, the cost to buy the equipment to accurately measure a chassis is phenominal.
