    No, it won't be "they may kill me", it is "you will be killed".....

    And if "they" don't I would probably give it a try.

    It's less simple, than that unfortunately.

    The Windle has very specific geometry...at least it did untill the speedway fuckwit took to it, now I wouldn't bet either way...The bucket needs to be smaller, but the rider and swinger stay the same. So shit get's wack real quick.

    The LCR long bike-a-like is the way to go for you Dave. You're a big unit, as illustrated by not fitting in the full size short bike all that well, and a rear engined outfit will accommodate much better.

    I'm seriously of the opinion, that the motor should be that of a 125 fuel injected, two stroke scooter. Self contained and compact for rear motor application already.

    There is one of those in the process of being built at the moment. I too dont think it is a bad way of going about it.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Has to be aircooled...

    No idea if they are or not.

    Could always drop to a hundie.

    Probably the only place in bucket's I'd prefer a camgrenade over a real engine.

    Frenchy's one is air cooled I think. I'll have to ask him what model it is, I can't find it in a quick google search.

    Thing went pretty well.

    Why don't you ask Arron if he'll sell that XL125 powered bucket chair that's sitting in his yard, for Dave?

    Well prettier anyway, lets see someone do a bucket to that standard

    Just wondering with all the interest in the chairs at the moment is there any chance of getting a handle on just what is being made at the moment. I have seen Cullys front end floating around the last few months, any idea how far the rest of it is? Any idea what might power it?
    I caught up with Richie when he popped in on race day, he was saying his pit bike/rig will be a runner in two months time. I know of one more that has just begun, its using a RV90 rolling frame, engine unknown, but should be ready in two to three months.
    Any one else got something cooking??
