VMX all too much for you ??

quote:OK,V4 2 stroke-sounds like a converted outboard engine,possibly direct injected. You need something like that in this application for it's power to weight ratio,or you'd have no useful endurance at all. But if he wants to go another step,the plated Wankels that are slated for the Moller Air Car would be a better option. Actually,I seem to recall that a similar vehicle using them has been looked at already.
Clever little dicks some of these Kiwi's, check out the late great John Britten's V twin Race bikes-possibly the only Motorcycle I'd ever have unprotected sex with.

This thing is powered by 4 CR500 barrels, there is a youtube clip with it on the dyno

For the past 7 or 8 years I've been on my ride-on up to 6 days a week during summer months Just purchased a brand new 15.5hp engine a couple of weeks back and not for what I'd call chicken feed   Enough time and money wasted on the bloody things already in my eyes. Like Bobcats and forklifts, good fun for a day or so but then the novelty wears off. Old dirt bikes, 40years+ and counting and I still can't get enough! No contest

Hmmm here is a thought for ya Doc...  a Suzi too....

[Freakshow]

Not really a jet pack is it ? i mean its not running on jet fuel ?


its kinda like strapping a petrol powered ultralight to your back.

I wanna see the wooosh and the stream of vapour..............  ( but more that 26 sec worth.)

[DR]

jeez Tim that's a bloody beauty! And a 2 smoker in stereo to boot Alas, it would be a pain to get through the average garden gate which presents a major woe nice thought though thanks mate..I have my GTS185 twin sitting doing nothing

[oldskool]

Here's a couple of shots from the lawnmower races yesterday.
The green mower in the photos is the one with some 4 cyl 4 stroke motor in it.

[VMX247]

Thanks oldskool for the pics,keen as mustard arent they   
Its always great to see some other form of entertainment/sport.
My mum always says to me "Bikes are so blokey".
My reply is,"Mum so is football (AFL)".
There are some wild women in football-crazy fans  ....anyway VMX will do me for the time being 
cheers A
