Impressive work

Re: Fifty shades of Jade
Wow, you just keep taking it up a level, so impressive. It got me thinking that Angus McPhail with the original Jade warrior was such an innovator and that I really think that you've not only made (and are making) a great vehicle, but are really doing him proud in the way that you are just solving problems and taking on challenges - there's no rule book or catalogue for making something like this, you find a challenge, solve it, and on to the next one.
That also made me want to google Angus because I recalled he made his own engine and wanted to check that, so I did and found that he recently passed away due to coronovirus , maybe that has been posted but I did not read it, good article here https://www.oldbikemart.co.uk/angus-mcphail-rip/.
So keep going, you are doing him proud!

Re: Fifty shades of Jade
Correct Gavin Very sad indeed I’m still in touch with his family and I’m keeping them updated on our progress
Next up i decide we would build the chassis around a 4” tube.
The interior of the chassis will be hollow and used as some sort of giant ram air intake plenum turbo feed system thing later.
Built more fixtures to help get the top rails in place.

Re: Fifty shades of Jade
The rider, when in racing position, must remain completely visible from either side of the motorcycle, without having to look through any material. Only hands and forearms may be hidden when viewed from above. The rider must have unrestricted (fore/aft) movement of the arms when seated in racing position.
Due to this rule the chassis needs to be very narrow around the bullock point. So a lot of support will be need around this area

Don’t be fooled by the pretty tube work.
The struggle is real and a lot of tube was harmed in the making of this bike
For ever tube you see on average it took 3 attempts

Still dead impressive. To create that fixturing so you can build it to his level without having to lay even one tack weld on the actual frame is brilliantautofetish wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 20 11:41 am
