We left the old tank in place and gave it a little wash out with water still with the batteries inside it :D

I have got this fancy suspension tuning tool using data logging to help tune the Air suspension so that needs work.

Unfortunately on the last run, i will a bit heavy-handed on the downshift in the braking area and managed to grenade another gearbox and lock the rear wheel solid again. :pale: It was low speed 20mph and the bike is very stable so no drama.

Learning lots :D

Hello, all hope everyone is well.

Still hammering away this!

End of 2022 managed to just get out for the last time mainly working on gearbox control software which for once seemed to work well.

Stuck Guy on it and after a few .. laps of the Carpark the boy did 203mph with 180hp @ 40% throttle :rr:


The comment from him was your brakes are f@&king Bananarama! :D

But was very impressed with how straight and stable the bike runs


So plan for 2023 is to get the parachute system on the bike and get to the pod and try and put the gearbox control through some hard testing.

Did he say "It has hospital written all over it" ?

I think that's a great phrase!
