Lotus is launching 200 BHP C-01 Super Bike!

The designer responsible for creating the Tron Legacy bike (Daniel Simon), Kodewa German Auto Racing Team and the Holzer Group is the team responsible for the new design. As I understand it, Lotus states this bike will be the best looker on the road and engineers will focus on design, ergonomics and high-end technologies. With the current market, I am sure Lotus could use the boost from another side of the auto industry.

Although I am sure this motorcycle is going to be well out of my price range, I am looking forward to seeing if this team of engineers and designers create a bike worthy of the cycle porn collection! Hopefully the name C-01 is just a working title!

This buell has really grabbed my attention!

Cause I want to do this......

With This.......

P120 Combat fighter, Its the new Pink!!!

There really aint much more you can say about these pictures that havent' been said for themselves! Its a beautifully engineered motorcycle! I love it!

Winter builds, the King and recycling.

There was and only will be one King!
In prep for my finished girder fork legs, I prepare to build another set!
I am adding a few inches in the length and maybe a couple of cosmetic alterations.
My nephew will probably snag this prototype set for his street fighter.

"SWING ARM"

Because Cody converted his bike from dual rear shocks - to mono shock, the swing arm had to be reinforced. He settled on his design, cut and welded some 1" x .120 cromoly tubing and got this finished product.

Next step, Design and fabricate the seat mount which will secure the top of the new mono shock.

12/03/08 Cody found a portable band saw!

So over Thanksgiving break "Cody Man" works diligently to move the pistons, clean his heads and strip alittle more un-needed parts from his soon to be Street fighter. Evidently he stumbled across a portable band saw hiding out in one of my shop cabinets........

Low and behold he chops away!!

This weekend will be a work weekend for him. Parts need to be purchased!

11/26/08 Chop chop choppin....

He wasted no time getting dirty. He used to be a hell-u-va shop rat! He started the basic removal of all that is crap. Some will make it to Ebay, some to the trash can, some perhaps to re-fabrication. He is currently looking for a 650cc top end and possibly a Turbo kit.

The carbs have been stripped and cleaned and will will go back together when he receives his gasket/rebuild kit. He is going to clean the cylinders, charge the battery and try to turn it over this weekend.

Cody's Build

So I search and search for the perfect gift for my 16 year old Nephew...and so his build begins. He has high hopes, big dreams and jumped in feet first!
