Then there is this...www.hotbuggy.com I drove a CBR600 version which was geared like a crosser and what a giggle. They use Gixxer 1000's now thou...:eek: Oh and the red one if it still lives wears one of my seats:p

Nooooooo use a big 2 stroke crosser motor:D I bought plans a few years ago but beggared if I know where they are:confused: The sidewinder is quite big but the plans show you how to make it all.

hmmmm shame you can,t put your fingers on the plans :D might be hatching a plan, as i,d like our 12yr old to have something like this, it would fit in back of my van when we could take it out for a blast down the beach :cool:

HandyAndy 22nd June 2009 02:24 PM

Hi Andy,

I know I have been pre-occupied sorting my career over the last few weeks so have not really been around to share all of your "Big Day" but rest assured. I know how important this day was, same as my first day of rolling chassis. Its great to see all the bits from the show finally in place.

My big day is coming up soon, as I have a few weeks Gardening leave from the Construction Industry. I have decided to try to shoehorn that V6 into the chassis. Will keep you informed....

So far I have a mobile scaffold tower split into 2 towers, and an RSJ to make a "make shirt engine hoist" Just need the lifting tackle now!

WELL DONE BUDDY!

Cheers mate, yeah it was a good feeling getting the chassis out of the cramped garage for the first time :cool: tho the clean up of the garage wasn,t so enjoyable , angle grinding dust gets everywhere :mad: :D

good luck getting the V6 into such a small space, i was measuring my gearbox & engine today for readiness for trial fitting, but thats only a small 4cylinder, nothing like your V6 :eek:

cheers
