At the Alexandra Palace show today there was a display about the Electric TT, featuring an interesting Carbon-fibre bike. This is based on the Peter Williams...
Jan, Thanks for this good bit of news. Interesting that the organizers are looking for a 3 lap event in 2010. My preference would be to start by offering...
How's the frame coming along for your Norton FF, Jan? Julian, Blez and I have been gossiping with Craig Vetter about his Helix project. As you probably...
... snip ... snip ... A combination of the VFFF nose and CMAX tail will fit a range of cut & shut FFs. Something like Malcolm's Phasar fairings, I suppose....
The old guy I get to do my MoT's took the ComfortMax for a spin after he passed it, and came back grinning. His words were, "that machine is dangerous" which...
Picked up a free copy of the March 09 Rider's Digest at Vines yesterday and was pleased to see that editor Dave Gurman has devoted 4 pages to the joys of...

Remember the days when the MOT station mechanic would take the machine for a test ride? I used to take various cafe racers round to a little chap with a...
I don't have any drawings, since it is more of an 'intuitive' design so far.General layout as per Bruce A7 design. It is about 3/4 built ( frame) and is at the...
... Well spotted Ian. Thanks. (Although on my computer, the Navigation menu appears top left). I have to say that I preferred the bikeweb homepage how it how...

... Heh heh! Thanks Emile! Where did you snap those pix? Trust Givi to come up with a sensible screen and luggage option! The box and panniers don't look very...

... If you remember, the John Bruce A7 design fitted the petrol tank into a long box under the swinging arm pivot, with an electric pump raising the fuel to...
... I still haven't ridden a DN-01, but it seems to me that there might be a market for a stylish courier-style panniers-cum-topbox combined with a higher...
... Thanks Andrew. And there are so many other gems here too. I loved the film of the Dymaxion pirouetting around a bloke as if it were doing slow-mo...
Well worth a look, especially the drawing of the proposed electric FF for the TTXGP which sadly came to nought. PNB ...

Tomorrow should be the day for the Daytona 200, but I'm not finding it in the program guide, anybody know what's up? Ernie B....
It came on yesterday Friday about 7:30 PM CST and again at this morning at 1:00 AM CST. Both on Speed Channel. I recorded it but haven't had the chance to...
Thanks, Bob. This must mean that the race was LAST Sunday???? Argh...whooda thunkit!? Guess I can at least ask who won and whether it was a good race...? ...
... Ernie, I was at the Daytona last night. We sat at the top of a small bleacher (like at at a high school) located in the pinensula of land formed by the...
THanks, Dan. I'll keep looking for Speed to replay it this week. Ben Bostrum is a good rider, for sure. What brand of 600 was he on? Ernie ... [Non-text...
I have added a new photo Album for the Bede Pulse which Arnold Wagner claims gave him the original idea for the ECOMOBILE. We were able to meet up with FF...
http://thenewcaferacersociety.blogspot.com/2009/03/flicker-alter-schwede. html This looks suspiciously like a cut'n'shut, diesel, FF with seat back and large...
I rather like the idea of accident investigators rushing out to look at bike crashes, and also asking other 'non-crashing' motorcyclists why they didn't crash....
