Australian Streamliner Bike Build

Thanks All

Being a CAD Luddite I've gone for the TAP method.
Tape And Pictures.

Looking through the rear hoop facing forwards:


Looking from above the front wheel tub facing backwards:


Side view:


Another side view:


The tape represents 1.25" DOM tubing, the two longer ones from the top of the upright at the back of the wheeltub down to the bottom rail at the hoop they comes down from the front hoop then back up to midrail height on the back roll hoop will be rolled to follow the body contour, the rest are straight.

The whole roll hoop structure from the midrail up and the feet area (the non crossed square next to the wheeltub) will be plated on the outside using 2.4mm (0.94") FMS.
The rest of the riders compartment will be skinned with 1.6mm (0.63") sheet.

The lower control arm mounting points will tied into the the bottom rail, the wheeltub and the upright rail at rear of the wheeltub, the control arm will be boxed out of the riders compartment.

Going to submit to the Motorcycle Tech Committee now.

So, have those photos been sent to the committee? There is no requirement for anyone to look at a website or even Face Book.

Hi DW

Yes to the Motorcycle Tech Committee and to the SCTA Board (I think I got the right names from the SCTA site)

I know nobody is obligated to look at my thread and I wasnt trying to be as smarta$$ by posting the rule change here.

The pictures are on here for people to say "had you thought of ...." or "I'd do .... instead"

Cheers
Jon

OK

Rolled the curved bracing tubes today and got them and a couple others trimmed and tacked in.

Looks a bit more robust than the tape:

Roll cab envy..... I was up your way yesterday Jon, was in a kind of a hurry though...had to buy a walk up ticket at BNE, needless to say it'll take me a while to recover from that $.

IAm watching eagerly and keeping my mouth shut on all the poloitics goin down right now.

[Jon]

Dave's rollcab is very pretty, isn't it.
Im not sure if he doesnt like it quite enough to put his tools in there or he doesnt want to scratch it, his tools allways end up on my build table though, of course i would never leave them there.
I'm still using an old Cat toolbox I bought when I was 15.

I'll keep an eye out for you finger marks in the checking counter next time I go through Brissy airport Goggles.
Guessing you got a decent grip of the counter as they bent you over.
Shame you didn't have time to call in, I kicked the crickets out special for you too.
Want me to send the Pro Rage down?, I still have your snail mail address here somewhere.

Cheers

I like leaving my tools around, it lets me look over the shed and see all the places I've been. Makes me feel like I've been productive.

If you want me to take the pro rage to Melbourne I should be down before Xmas or early in the new year.

[Dr Goggles]

Yes, I will borrow the pro-rage, for what I paid for that ticket I could have bought one, and a good bottle of champagne.

This morning after discussing the issue of some of our younger colleagues going over and above and setting a precedent that we didn't want to have to follow we, (the older guys ) came up with a motto........

Asinus in eam iam non poteris.

You can't take it up the a*** just once.

[Jon]

If you bought Champagne they may have respected you in the morning.

Pro Rage is in the snail, I'll email you a tracking number.
Please don't sleep in it like Ross did, he REALLY likes them.

I'll tell Greg it's down that way, he may want to borrow it for a test fit as well.

If it's ok I'll give Dave you address and he can grab it when he's down that way.
He'll want to sit in your Tank and make car noises though.

I'm not sure what to make of your new motto, does that mean you intend to fly walk up tickets more often?
Cheers

[DavieB]

I dont need to make car noises anymore, i downloaded an app on my phone that makes them for me. now i just press play and swing my hands around in front of me all crazy like. kind of like you when your driving.
 

[Jon]

Does it dribble for you or do you still need to do that yourself?

Plants running ok then?

Did you see where Goggles bit the checkin counter when you were flying out?

[DavieB]

The plants not running at all, the whole field is shutdown excep 3 machines at CS2. its like this for a week.
