Re: Fifty shades of Jade
That's a good camera position Will.
You can almost see your bottom twitching.
Looks like it certainly needs full concentration to keep in a straight line.
Well done mate.

Wow I didn't realise this was so close to actually running. The workshop photos suggested years of work ahead yet, brilliant stuff.
I wouldn't want to ride it though.

I think Will years are a bit like dog years.
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…

Re: Fifty shades of Jade
Racing this weekend
First run of the day developed a electrical issues which allowed the gearbox to select 2nd gear without an electrical cut to unload the gearbox. (6 speed Sequential straight cut)
This allowed the gearbox to select 1st and 2nd at the same time .
The gearbox exploded and this locked the rear wheel completely at 90mph. The bike skidded to a stop and I managed to stayed on it no drama

Re: Fifty shades of Jade
A legend called Micky B walked over and said he had a gearbox in his van.
A walk down the pits and after a dig though his van he pulled out a complete bike
A deal was done and we dragged the crashed bike back to our pit.

Re: Fifty shades of Jade
Most would throw in the towel with that damage and stick it back on the trailer.
You are a legend Wil, there should be a film made about you.

Re: Fifty shades of Jade
The bike was really stable i think as the centre of gravity is so low.
Tyre seem ok for testing for now
