November 13, 200718 yr Atom dont count your chickens before the eggs have hatched. In detroit every body is building a 700 hp 10 second car but when it comes time to run they end up having a 200 hp noise maker infront of a used truck transmission that leaks like a siv. --Biff I'm not out to build a dragster by the way! I'm quietly confident it will be ok It just frustrates me that the FIM limited the engine design to a 4 stroke. So GG build an engine based on 100 year old technology and everyone else has OHC single pot engines. Maybe there is nothing wrong in that but nothing new has been created when there are other engine technologies that could have been developed for trials use! Back to my usual gripe of a lack of vision

Back to my usual gripe of a lack of vision I this a clue???? Is it an orbital ?..........rotary ?.....perendev magnetic ?..homogeneous charge compression ignition?..pulse detonation ?... more info please!
November 14, 200718 yr I this a clue???? Is it an orbital ?..........rotary ?.....perendev magnetic ?..homogeneous charge compression ignition?..pulse detonation ?... more info please! Well, you know they are decommissioning Sizewell .......
November 14, 200718 yr Well, you know they are decommissioning Sizewell ....... What a fantastic idea for an engine could have only come from an expert like yourself and 'mums the word'
November 15, 200718 yr Well, you know they are decommissioning Sizewell ....... Ahh Right ...38hp @7,600rpm....but you'll glow in the dark,grow an extra head and webbed toes
November 15, 200718 yr New Gas Gas Briggs and Stratton eh? I hope its quieter than a Montesa (F)4RT! My lawnmower is quiet! Mind you, there may be nowhere left to ride in 2009 anyway!
November 15, 200718 yr Any chance this topic could be deleted for a while? Its because my son is due home in an hour and if he sees this he'll go on and bloody on about having a Gasser 4 strike and it'll just end up costing me a lot of money. He won't shut up either . I've tried the 'sorry pal the computers knackered' ploy but I can only carry that off for so long before he cottons on.

It won't be a year or so before it gets here so unless his behaviour is impeccable until then he has no chance! Give him time to save up his pocket / paper round / car cleaning / grass cutting / money
December 5, 200718 yr I wasn't that excited about it to be honest. After all, its only been around 100+ years
December 5, 200718 yr I wasn't that excited about it to be honest. After all, its only been around 100+ years Good point. Daresay you remember the very first prototype
December 5, 200718 yr Good point. Daresay you remember the very first prototype Yes , its the one you took the photos of during development
December 5, 200718 yr Now they have a diagram, I wonder if xispa can get a clone out before GG can get it in the stores.
