I bet it felt a lot quicker than that down at ground level?

Did it feel comfortable to operate, as its unlike any other driving/riding position?

It felt like nothing on earth unfortunately my main issue was my neck I just couldn’t keep my chin up due to riding position.



Laying on it in garage for 2min is one thing but 10min down to start line in leather with an ACU regulation spine protector was undo able. I underestimated this


The only way I could get semi comfortable was to lay right back with my legs just dangling either side of the engine.

Which meant under heavy acceleration I was just about able to hold on.

First run after I came into the pits I was asked how fast do you think you went I was sure it was 85mph+ .....

43mph I was told


Some changes needs to get lower in bike and move Handel bars in front of front wheel I think


It’s was abit boaty and abit wallowing left and right which I feel is due to my center of gravity being a little to high.

I plan to move the rad up onto the engine and try and lay right on the belly pan floor of bike.



My goal was 100mph and I got 112MPH bike performed mechanical perfect but lots to do !

Is it possible to increase the angle of the body board without increasing overall rider height?
Should help with the comfort and as l9ng as your below the faring height should give any additional drag.

Though i expect the original design was function over form anyway.

had you considered an hd 'dash cam pointed forwards with a colour screen on the 'body board' right in front of you in direct line of sight (looking down)? it would negate the need to bend your head up while riding
neil.

Blimey! That would be the ultimate Video game!!

It would certainly make some onlookers nervous when they saw you weren't looking where you were going

Genius Sir what a good idea

Have looked into this an apprenlty the camera screen delay / vibration unfortunately tricks the brain. Will give it a go and let you know.

Do NOT use oven pride on aluminium engines !

Ps. If you do have to clean your oven it’s Bananaramaing amazing

The engine was being stripped anyway for a fresh build so not to bad.

Stripped engine

With age I’m leaning you won’t remember where anything came from so spent hours labelling and taking photos

Due to parts now being very alkaline they where placed in a wheelie bin with acid to try and get some sort of neutral PH level back to stop any more oxidation.

Wheelie bin then had a few million gallons of water pumped thought it over night.

If you do work for seven valley water and are looking for a major leak apologies its was for the racing causes and no swans or fish died on this occasion.

Apparently VR googles and 360° camera is the way to do it. But feel that’s a step to far at 200mph +

I would check with the Scruitineers, there is a fair chance they will tell you to Bananarama! off...
