    So this is the VW powered bike that ran at Speedweek this year. It's listed on the DLRA site as being run by competitor number 1093, Brook Denning. At the moment there is no speed recorded in the results (on open record for this class). I can only assume that either Brook did not finish the course or that the results have not been entered yet.

    Speedweek results for 2017 now in. Unfortunately I did not get to compete this year, which is unfortunate, but it looks like my record still stands, which is kinda cool. There were no aircooled VWs running this year, but there was a bike with an 1835 type 1 motor. Will post up some pics when I get hold of some.

    •   Wednesday, 04 November 2015
    If you read my last post - 'Hydraulic clutch slave' which was about fitting a hydraulic clutch to a Porsche 915 gearbox you might have thought that it was a good solution to an otherwise difficult issue to solve. Well that is what I thought until I t...

    I've been pretty busy over the past few weeks trying to get the shell and running gear finished so that I can make a start on building the engine. The body is pretty straight and only needs a few small patches welded in but having cut out the rear fl...
