After 41 years Kent Riches is closing Airtech. He has the body mould for the ACK Attack streamliner. I would be happy to give it to anyone who might have a use for it. You can contact me or Kent at Airtech.

Seems they have changed the link
new address here: https://horel.chpc.utah.edu/data/station_cameras/bflat_cam/bflat_cam_current.jpg

Thanks, it looks like they moved all the camera data to a new server:
https://horel.chpc.utah.edu/data/station_cameras/bflat_cam/

I'm guessing the official entry point is still this one:

Steering - Suspension - Rear End / Re: Hard Tail Vs. Soft Tail? (and general questions)

« Last post by tallguy on May 05, 2024, 01:35:58 AM »

Powered by only 175cc, it's not likely that you'll have to deal with much excessive spinning of your rear tire.  I'd keep that one
relatively lightweight and narrow, and use a good amount of pressure in it.

I don't guess that you'd go much faster than about 130 mph (give or take a few mph).  The bike's top speed probably would not be much affected by whether you have rear suspension, but for the sake of comfort I'd suggest no rigid rear end.  I would favor a
relatively small diameter, lightweight front wheel & tire with little rebound damping in the front suspension, in order to keep
the front tire well-grounded.  Good luck.

Build Diaries / Re: Midship Raceabout 1 Seater - Lakester

I am. I'm not sure which pump I'll use. For the engine cooling water I've purchased a Davies Craig standalone electric unit that modulates water bases on temp. For the intercooler it's tempting to use the same, but $300, could be saved using a boat bilge pump.

True story:  When I was at Michigan Tech (in Houghton) I worked at WMPL AM & FM.  Many local elders thought that we broadcast American Music on AM, Finnish music on the FM side.

Sunday 10AM:  The Finnish Hour, followed by Finnish-language services from the Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church at 11.
