The question was asked of Frits at the time as to the subjective acceleration and he made the point that it felt very, very good. However how well calibrated was Frits on the day? I reckon that if anyone got into a KZ kart and went for it up some dodgy and skinny road between tulip farms, they would have to have a grin on their faces.

i wonder if Frits will confirm that he might be wrong and that kart only FELT fast.

so maybe Frits should be re calibrated? wobbly, do you have the equipment to do that? i am only joking of course. please dont feel offended, Frits.

[Frits Overmars]

This is an article about Ryger in an Italian magazine.
Nobody in the Ryger team knows that it would be published.
Frits has not put in any to this Ryger concept in the few month he was involved.
I translated the Italian text via Google because I wanted to know what was being written.
The translation is therefore not perfect, but the scope is clear.
Especially the photo caption below makes clear what your dear gentleman Frits told the Italians.
....................
photo caption
The Dutch Ryger 125 revo is derived from an idea that has been developed by Frits Overmars for about ten years, the primose that can be seen on the photo

I never had any contact with the author of this article, but apparently he deemed it useful to attach my name to it anyway.
I never claimed that the Ryger was derived from my ideas. But Luc jumps to the opportunity of calling me a liar. If this isn't personal abuse, what is?

And right there Luc we have the crux of all the issues that a huge number of people all around the world seem to have with so much of what you say, in many forums.
Its NOT that we dont understand at all, you narcissistic fuck,its that you are not explaining it at all well ( or in most cases ,not explaining it at all ).

While this is not ”nicely” expressed and diagnosis is against Goldwater rule, it’s hard to disagree if you have any personal past exposure to the disorder in question.
There’s only one way to stop the repetitive vicious circle a single “contributor” so successfully creates to gain the dose of attention and controversy.
If Ryger or any other Luc’s achievements will eventually shake the world, I’m sure all the hard information will be available elsewhere for everyone to swallow their disbelieves. Which, I believe many will happily do, if that’s the way it goes.

I don’t know if I will be banned for saying this. If that’s the way it goes, I respectfully thank everyone for the fantastic discussion and information shared.

Ban the Fucker. He repeatedly pulls the thread to the pool of shit.

[Flettner]

jannem, I like your style, go for it.

For quite some time I was under the impression that much of the controversy's from lucf might have been due to a language barrier, but no more.

The Goldwater rule is not applicable, Luc not being a public figure. So the perception of narcissism is tolerable.

One can go down to "whataboutism", the reflex when asked a question to instantly point a finger to someone else.

The result is a now constant obstruction of a knowledge and ideas sharing thread, with mutual respect from the participitants, one finds rarely on the worldwide web. This countryman of mine, Luc Foekema, aka LucF, has a revenge mission to destroy everything he sets his eye on, to get his right, however wrong it may be. And he gets his attention, mostly negative, which seems to thrive him most. He may know some things, but it conflicts with his secretiveness.

He reads the moderator warning, put there for his behaviour, acknowledges it fully and goes on after that in his usual derailing way. Enough is enough.

BAN HIM NOW!

[WilDun]

Yes, I reckon ban him! I told him what he was doing to the thread (twice), he agreed and waited a week or so, then pressed the reset button and started all over again!

OK you guys, time to get back to work and report back on your pathetic (but enjoyable) efforts with your pathetic conventional machines!

........ and I'm always right!!

A picture of the Ryger piston...
It keeps breaking!

achieving the concentricity for the single parts and make them line up properly in an assembly is already quite a challenge.

I also heard some people invested more than 500.000 Euro in this project.
Sadly everything will be lost.....!

At one point Tim Schrick (son of famous Nockenwellen Schrick) was also involved creating his own Ryger Facebook page and stuff. Big suprise he pulled out too...

Luc, go fight your personal war somewhere else.
you contribute absolutly nothing to tis topic but trashtalk. I vote for a ban.

+1 for ban. Everytime Mr. Inventor shows up with new bogus screenshots or graphs this whole thread derails to the quality of Lucs claims.

Maybe a very stupid question, but all this talk about the Ryger and its short con-rod and side loading blah blah blah. How is this any different than say a 250cc 4T single, they have stupid short con-rod's and rev just as high if not higher??? So how would this be any different in the Ryger application?

what helps IMO, there are no ports in the cylinder walls disturbing lubrication and giving the piston the possibility to rock into plus they are better lubricated.

As SwePatrick already pointed out KTM especially advertises that they shortened the conrod on their SXF250 to minimize packaging.

Modern 4T pistons are absurdly short and the life is generally limited by bore clearance getting too large - which lets them rock and destroy the skirts...
But the extra coasting stroke does wonders for piston cooling.

Looking at the calls to ban Luc is interesting. I have no opinion either way - that's what the ignore function is for IMO.
Most of you don't look at the rest of this site. We have at least two locals on here who should be banned before Luc - just on the number of occasions they've derailed threads/started arguments/provoked rage/given false or dangerous advice...But management appears to be reluctant to ban anyone.
It's their call after all.

This isn't Salem. You shouldn't Burn him.

. . . Oh wait. Sorry I misread that. As you were.

Fair comment.

Ignore works reasonably if it’s widely used, so less members will join the controversy. However, those who anticipate being targeted personally in public forum can’t use it to be able to defend themselves from claims they see unjustified and harmful.

When you have one source for all this above others, I think it’s reasonable to ask for a ban, which I have done.

Whether it’ll be taken seriously remains to be seen, but I will adopt the ignore function anyway to save myself from the stuff I don’t care about, even if it won’t quell the pages long aftermaths of these appearances.

[mattology]

this is my first post, but i'm a long time reader, and i just wanted to say that i do not think lucf contributed anything at all but conflict to this thread.

thank you for providing incredible reading material. my little two strokes thank you as well.

let's say this was a track-days topic where people talk about the do's and the don'ts, where people talk about setting up your track-bike, suspension, etc...
in fact it is THE HOT TOPIC worldwide, because even Casey Stoner and Troy Bayliss are long time posters who share all their knowledge and answer almost any question you throw at them. Now every now and then Anthony Gobert (drunk or not, we will never know ) comes in and throws an angry post in the middle about how Troy was very sneaky in the 2000 Phillip Island race and even blatantly lied about it and still will not say he was in the wrong that day. He never posts anything else, he never gives info on riding/bike set-up/...
After a number of occassions like this, Troy almost has enough and says he will stop posting if this continues. Casey feels the same and agrees with Troy to make a statemant.

now we can all ignore Gobby's posts, but that will not help Troy. Troy leaves and as a consequence Casey also leaves. Gobert "won" and we all lose. Does anybody want that ? Does it it make a difference if Gobert would be banned ? would anybody feel he loses something if Anthony was banned from posting his "gossip" ?
Does it matter to us if Frits or Luc was first with that new scavenging system ? No. at least Frits talks about it and shares his thoughts about it. Luc only came to look for someone to help him so he can run away with the credits should the system ever work nicely.

My choice is clear, as should everybody else's. Luc is a troll and nobody want's a troll next to them interfering with pointless gibberish during the conversation in their favourite pub.

yet again what is this video supposed to show? that you are able to mount a gopro (judging by the quality like first gen one) to a kart?

can't be a ryger engine? no 30.000 1/min, not crazy fast...about the laptime of a Rotax Max (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKh_hRzQy4w).

let me guess, we need to be patient just f*** off...
