If I'm really honest, all I'm fit for these days is to sit, look in occasionally and comment (you guys don't mind do you?)
What I was trying to say earlier was, give all these guys a fair go with experimental projects which may or may not fit in with the bucket "rules" but which make sense to at least try.
No need to have a championship or even to win races, the only competition being the fight against convention with it's rigid guidelines stifling enterprise! -maybe something quite revolutionary evolving either by continuous tinkering or building on each others designs.
It would appear from the last few posts that there are a few enterprising guys here just dying to try things they've thought up, but really having no track time at all because their designs wouldn't be compatible with the rulebook.
Much of what has been suggested won't work of course, but a great way to give keen inventors to airy fairy hopefuls a chance to try things. Dyno's are fine but there's a lot of other stuff which can only be sorted on the track, often in racing conditions with the possibility of some nasty results, guess you could say that's possible with regenerative braking which is at present an unknown!
Of course, safety would still be paramount at all times.
Is there any provision for them or their riders to have time on the tarseal now and again for experimentation? - I imagine there's probably no such problem with the off road stuff.
Then again, I could quite possibly be wrong! and this scheme might not work!

KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) is fine for F1 cars with 20 mm of suspension movement and no body roll at all. The gyroscopic forces would tear the flywheels out of the cars if they would start rolling into corners as we bikers do.Originally Posted by husaberg
Two contrarotating flywheels will cancel out some of the gyroscopic torque but that would only mean their axes would refuse to be moved at all.
You are clearly thinking outside the (lunch)box

Hi all. I'm on holiday in Spain and it's making me so happy seeing all the motorcycles around. Plenty of rowdy two smokes in the streets too. Loving it. I wonder if I can carry on an engine on the way home.

Speedpros H2o (to be turbocharged/supercharged) EFI 125 is one bike I am aware of that currently is not compatible with the rule book and it has enjoyed as much track time as he has wanted for testing his ideas, so it happens.
And its no secret as all progress has been posted on the #6 and Ecotrons EFI threads.
The only requirement for the enterprising, is to stop talking and start working.

Ha ha - Ok I got it wrong! - I won't be doing much work of course, but I'll go and do some more reading on the threads you mention and I'll be checking out your (legal) porcupine when it appears on the track.

As it is the bike is completely legal.
Once the turbo is put on it will of course suddnely become a 100cc bike
I'm about to get back into working on that bike. We bought a new house and it's taken a bit to get things sorted but nearly there. Need to build a new bench for the drill press grinder and vice and we'll be pretty well done.

After reading Speedpros post, looks like I got it sort of wrong too...... ahh well ...

Yeah just plank your 30 advance of 100k euro down and wait 6months min and then another 20k to hire a hit on the directors if you can find them. If I was insanely rich I'd risk it anyway. But I'd hire the hit in advance on a post dated cheque in case I forgot.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

If you could just pop along to the Derbi factory museum in a long overcoat. See if you can bring me back Youichi's bike. Probably only be 2suitcases worth.

I'm looking forward to seeing yours go with a turbo! Have you got a RHB31?As it is the bike is completely legal.

yeah, RHB31. The manifolds are more or less made and just need a few more bits glued together. The intake is actually finished & fitted and is possibly acting as a bit of a restriction unturbo'd. Need oil lines yet but saved a website selling them at a good price - http://www.kemotorsport.com/
125GP!!!
Thats who we got the AMR300 off.

Having reviewed all my statements, I have decided stay out of all the politics and stick to the stuff I actually can do, ie. until I know exactly what I'm talking about !After reading Speedpros post, looks like I got it sort of wrong too...... ahh well ...
