Will I get my 100 ready in time for Taupo?

[speedpro]

do you remember the flat 4 two stroke that the pistons fired againts each other? it did not go that good on the day but the guy said it when like a rocket in a gokart

Neil's uniflow 100 cc twin. 2 crankshafts, 4 pistons, brushcutter conrods($2 ea?). Did all the castings himself. The motor was good for 20,000rpm or somethng silly like that, could be wrong though but it certainly revved lots. Very clever dude.

He made a 500cc version for an autogyro. I've got a video of when he fired it up for the first time floating round here somewhere.

Please post more info if you can! I love the idea of something like that!
I've really geek out over non-schnule two stokes.

Wasn't there a story in Kiwi rider or twin eagle in the mid 90's?

[F5 Dave]

Twin Eagle? I'm assuming that's some big boys ghey custom mag?

Beside Mal was more likely reading Spiderman comics in the mid 90s.

My beloved Trialsbike just left on some old meanie's trailer. . .

Haha! I just saw the reference on my bank statement. It has a reference of 'Old Meane' Guess he casts an eye over this thread occasionally.

I would obviously not know as much as you do Dave, about the big "Ghey custom Boys"
But i do know the mag i mention while having a lot of Hardy Davidsons.
But did have some other interesting NZ brewed stuff.

I have read about the engine somewhere and didn't grow up in the Northern island so it has been mentioned somewhere.
So Dave here is a Big Ghey Ducati for ya. So i guess you were always suspicious of the Italians.
It was in Twin eagle.

Anyways, I'm not using any queer daigo carbs, or buying jets, or making them. I am short

[jasonu]

I expect it pre dates CBR and FXR150's though and they don't have any similar restrictions at all.
.

Isn't the fact they are four strokes restriction enough...

[jasonu]

l do kind of remember you now i was only new to bucket racing at the time but do remember what the hell is that bike of yours it looked so cool even today it is right up there! l know in the first 5 years of buckets so meany types of bikes were built ! do you remember the flat 4 two stroke that the pistons fired againts each other? it did not go that good on the day but the guy said it when like a rocket in a gokart

Yes mate I remember seeing that bike at the GP. Dissapointing that it didn't run that day.

Lucky you didn't call him a cock sucker.

Back in the day, Euan Cameron, ex racer and damm good photographer, did the occasional article for Twin Eagle...

He was the first into print to blow away the Britten myth of "one man in a shed" - Named names and described the workshop setup.
Pretty much what the hard core race crew in ChCh already knew - but not the official Britten line at the time.

Ironic it was in a Harley mag....

Well clearly, you do, I wasn't the one buying the magazine matey potatie, you were,

- I just guessed what it was about from the name, Sounded very US orientated with all this Eagle stuff. Sad that some other countries want to emulate the States' culture.

Only Twins i admit to owning are my RZs, although it could be argued my 500 has a lot of American bits, but I doubt it would be suitable for their target market.


Why are you showing me Ducatis? yawn.

Really it was an article from the Ghay Twin Eagle Mag Dave 2+2. It fitted the point cause it was Kiwi home built and as you say Diago
While it did have a fair bit of Powder puff Harley's It did have some interesting kiwi sport and classic bike's and stories in it.

[F5 Dave]

Well stage 2 begins. After the rod nicely slotted the back of the barrel & generally made a mess the plans for new crank are under way with a slight destroke. KT piston hit my desk this morning & a CR stator are on the way.

Cases need some Devcon filling where they've been welded but tried to keep weld to a min to avoid porosity.

[F5 Dave]

Stator arrived & it looks spiffy.
