This is me the other day having a go in the new MK Engineering Sprint.

Description Single seat heaven

Wow!!!

I chickened out at 100!

It was absolutely fan bloody tastic.

I've put my name down!

Cheers

Bloody'ell. One for the history books ChrisG makes coherent, relevant, wit/sarcasm free, intelligent post

What happened, take your breath away

More details would be apreesh'd by many!!!!!! Such as (I'm guessing a bike, going by can) engine, weight, (prospective, know it's in development) cost etc etc. Wife would probably want to know where she can sit?

Glad you enjoyed

I'd bloody well chicken out too doing that speed on the drive!

are we talking about 100kph OR 100mph.

Nice!

Is that the new Haynes car in the background too?

I would hope that post SVA there will be a few wings added otherwise I wouldn't fancy pushing it much beyond 100 either. (IMHO)

May have issues with SVA, the lights are too far 'in'.

Looks the BIZ though.

PS Chris, how the hell did they get you in and out of that

The number plate presumably becomes part of the aero package. I would chicken out before it blew off and sliced its way along the car towards me. Where will it go to satisfy the boys in blue?

chrisg - 10/10/06 at 09:08 PM

It's powered by a Yamaha R1 engine and weighs 350kg (but not with me in it)

That is the new Haynes car in the background and we used a system of weights and pulleys to get me in and out (actually I didn't have a problem).

Marcus my dearest and oldest friend, it's not very often you talk nutsack but you've done it again.

There is no minimum seperation of headlights for the SVA, you can have 'em next to each other if you like.

Could do better - see me (Wednesday)

Chris, I think Marcus was referring to the SVA requirement that they can be NO MORE than 400mm from the outermost edge of the vehicle.

Chris:

Wot Phil said!

Otherwise bikes wouldn't be allowed

If those indicators are less than 400mm from the wheel edges, I'll buy you a pint!

Yes, because of course, all kits are SVA'd as they finally look right...

They never change light positions for SVA ever..

Agreed, but as a manufacturer, I'd have thought the demo car would be left as is, if only to show how it's done. It prob looks miles better with the position altered though.

You look like a baby in a romper suit dangling off one of those walking frame thingies IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/02GF74/laughAtYou.gif[/IMG]

Are the mudguards really just curved bits of ali sheet??

chrisg - 12/10/06 at 07:00 PM

I always do!

The mudguards are ali, with about a 15mm edge on them. As with the lights, they're prototype items, they work though.

Cheers
