Electric motorbike racing

[Jonathan]

Thanks for the comments. If any of you are going to be near one of the races let me know and I can show you the bike close up. We'll be at Silverstone, Donnington, Anglesea, Portimao (Portugal) somewhere in Germany and maybe Assen (Netherlands). The first race is in the very beginning of August - ish, dates have not been confirmed yet.

The pics look fantastic, the bike, ally part and the crew, but why were the others all in shirt sleeves, and you in your winter woolies?

I think I was still recovering from earlier in the week:

Here are some more parts I machined for the bike - some sprockets:



They were surprisingly easy - I just used a 6mm cutter for the main profile and a simple V-shaped tool I made from silver steel for the chamfer. Next time I will add some pockets to save weight. For these I was in a hurry so didn't bother.

They worked, but were a bit wobbly as the aluminium plate wasn't terribly flat! The bike has done about 100 miles on the TT course and the 6082T6 aluminium hasn't worn much at all, so it doesn't seem worthwhile splashing out on 7075 grade. I think I'll just order some tooling plate to guarantee sufficient flatness and make plenty.
