Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Yes with a GP100 resplendent in purple with newer technology Stamped Metal exhaust. Note thick Vietnamese foliage & I think that is a Tiger just hidden in the shadows to the right.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

chased by Ninjas in his early years he learnt how to make Bikes go fast so he could survive (bikes being smaller again than his car)

Oh please don't change this into some car thing.
Besides Tigers attack white, you'd never survive in that ghey get up.

aparently you dont survive telling people who you are either
more evidence that Thomas is at least related to the Stig
as taken from Winepeg and refering to Top Gear
The Vietnam special featured the 'Stig's Communist cousin' a red-jumpsuit clad motorcyclist, who set lap times on the presenters' bikes. Previously seen in the series 12 preview montage, the scenes were deleted from the broadcast, but the footage of the 'Communist cousin' was included in the extra materials of the DVD.

So lets get this right, you exploited the low labour cost in Veitnam to get a pipe copied 100 times, then they had the audacity to use your money to reinvest in their business so they could manufacture to higher standards, how dare they ! Doesnt Lomas get his pipes made in Croatia or some other low cost country.
What about those sneaky bloody Indians, learning how to speak forigen languages then pretending to be bank or power company helpful people.
Get over it, stuff gets copied all the time, in one of your earlier pots you talked about copying a cylinder and improving it, thats just the same as what happens with the pipes. looks like the copy is now superior to the expensive european version, i guess the euro one needs to be improved to stay ahead of the game. Also if the Veitnamese incorporate designs and innovation from Bells book the product is not the same as the original. you need to get over your hatred for Veitnamese, Germans wernt always flavour of the month.
Interesting point.
The thing I take exception to is not the "Vietnamese" it's more the fact that every time I mention something "Thomas knew all about that" (etc), yet why didn't Thomas do all this before I mentioned it?
It's certainly not "Ego" from my end (other people see it the same way, it's not just my opinion)
I make no bones about starting with other peoples designs and improving them. Its how we all learn.
Straight out copying them (under the same brand name) is pretty crap when it's not big businesses designing them, it's quite often one person, who ends up making no money.
I never mentioned any of this until Teezee gave Thomas the credit for suggesting he took some design cues from an Rs125 cylinder.
I had done that months before.
Don't think that is childish of me to mention it, it's just stating a fact.
I'm not doing this for personal glory, ( I would have simply declared who I was if I wanted personal glory,) I was happier with annonimity.
The idea of me even continue to post was that it seemed the more I wrote, the clearer the concepts became to me (like reaffirming what I had learned)
But it was a bit of a poke in the eye. considering how many hours I had spent at the key board (trying several times to carefully point out where they where going wrong, not in an "I told you so" way)
When Teezee reported that his "high tuned" engine was putting out so much power it was over heating, but turned out to be making the least power (15HP), I found no temptation to ridicule him, only offering him encouragement.
Like I said, the cylinder I developed started out as a totally plagerised item (wrapped in a different looking Aluminium skin)
Now it's not (plagerised), but, using methods and ideas I have written about on this forum (not once did I "google" anything, I learned all from books, coupled with my experience with two stroke race bikes, and some frank words from people in the industry here.)
I quickly learned that it's actually FAR FAR easier to start from scratch (once you know the basics) as far as port layout goes, rather than modifying an exsisting design.
The two big advantages are you can set the correct blowdown time as well as easily make your transfer angles what you want before you fit the new liner, rather than having to make too many compromises.
I wrote months ago what things to pay attention to, not for personal glory, but to help people who wanted to make their two stroke bucket faster.
I see Teezee now advocates around 50% balance factor (previously he was advocating 60%... these are all things I have mentioned, and all things I have learned through experience, none of which are "secrets", but previously he hadn't mentioned.
The first thing I read in the ESE thread that made me decide to post was Teezee decaring "what brings the power" (Ie what has an effect in reality, not just theoeretically), which was a question I had previously asked myself so many times, (I identified with the statement ) and it is only experience that teaches you that.
There seems to be a "giggle factor" that it is scooters I work with, don't forget that it's just an aluminium crankcase with a two stroke cylinder on top, if you make 25 PS with a Japanese crankcase, you can do it with a Vespa crankcase.
Pay no attention to the frame. (They are handle WORSE that you can imagine)
Oh, and much like my job is not just expansion chambers and dyno's (the fun parts), living over here is not all Lederhosen and Bier.......many people here deserve the reputation.....but there are some VERY clever tuners here, and it does have it's advantages.
Thomas has never coppied anything you posted
he did get a few ques from you but that was all
Tz350 finally got to a dyno so he had some hard facts thanks SS90 again
he had been a bit lazy
BUT YOU DO HAVE AN EGO problem and a big one from what I seen
and sugesting that people like Viatnemess boys a little to much was not
the done thing
and you did never let us know that answer about crank ballancing :P
but Thomas did![]()

Interesting,
It's one thing to question something, but good old "Bucketracer" was making an absolute fool of himself, making personal comments that where totally uncalled for.
I was quite happy for people to follow what I was writing (that's why I wrote it)
Just got too much when other people where handed the credit, coupled with childish remarks, day after day.
........And Thomas has never written anything!
That's my point!
You seem to have it in for some one that has NEVER said anything nasty about you at all
he did answer a few questions people had and gave good descriptions etc
and when you looked like you didn't have the answers he piped up
(witch was the same time you started getting realy hot under the collar)
I can only put 1 and 2 together and guess that it makes 5
I have found it easier to follow what Bucketracer had to say
and YOu never seem to let up on the attacks so cant Blame him for
giving you shit
and it is YOU who has let this thread turn into one big JOKE!!!!
so HA HA and HA on you
stop worring what they say and get on with showing us where we can do better
ps I can see why they call this the midnight wanker CLUB with all the shit talk from BOTH SIDES
makes everyone look like a bunch of school boys
pps I would still like to get my hands on that gp machine and rip the engine outthe BLING alone would help me win races

Perhaps you would be well served to re-read this thread in it's entirety..... it paints a clear picture of what started from where.
I (and others) fail to see how discussing minimum values for primary compressions (a series of posts that was destroyed by Bucketracer) and blowdown times (none of which had been discussed before on these threads, but are critical in tuning) indicates I have a problem with anyone.
The sad thing is I never was able to finish posting my results.
The people who where taking a serious interest in that are the ones that miss out.
As a result I won't be sharing my findings on this site.
Or for correct blowdown times either.
Everytime I mentioned something "Thomas said" was the answer.
Thomas has said nothing.
One day, "Thomas said" All cranks where 60% balance factor, (I said 52% is condidered correct for a high revving two stroke)
3 days later, Team ESE announce "around 50%"
As far as I am concerned team ESE are responsible for the childishness/ego primping.
I was posting my own findings not referring to websites.
