Landspeed racer

[commeracer]

Been a bit involved with this for a few months. Made a new aluminium frame for it, and it will be off to Pendine sands for speed week very soon.

I like the way your dangly bits can hang down through the seat. Not sure how comfy it would be on your bum bones though.

 

[commeracer]

Not on it for long enough to worry about comfort.

 

[bazzateer]

I'm getting on a bit now, I likes me comfort!

What a beast
Any reason why the exhaust are at different levels? Optimum gas flow I suppose - or he only had two right hand pipes

 

[commeracer]

Yes, made the pipes by hydroforming them. One is high in order to give enough room around the gear lever.

Will it be as fast as the Honda?

 

[commeracer]

Be serious Chris, it's only a 500, how could it possibly be as fast as the C90 !

 

[Panky]

You will need odd shaped legs to ride that one, should develop a flappy paddle change box Tim so the foot change is out of the equation

 

[PaulJL]

how did you get on?

 

[commeracer]

Had some battery issues with the T500, but it still made 101.3. The C90 made 76.578. Both new class records.
