Hi there,
Here are the last news about the Sunburst’s evolution:
I am still waiting for the E-start built by Jean-Noel Gindrat from the Yellow Peril Team, it should be finished by next week I hope.
If you look at the fotos posted by Bruno, you can understand why this takes time and money: this real mechanical art, the parts are made with the best materials on the market, evrything is CNC machined and very light, the belt will be a 40mm to replace the 30mm from Kenny Cummings, the clutch plates are from a Ducati 916 and the starting motor is strong enough to start a Caterpillar Bulldozer.
Jean-Noel is also building new engine plates, and I will need to find a place for the battery and the oil filter.
You will ask why not a CNW or Alton Estart? Well, with a CNW or Alton you must do a lot of grinding on the Maney cases, and this make the cases weaker.
So waiting for the Estart, I fill my days with re-polishing all the aluminium parts, dangerous work in my case with only one good leg, if you fall forward it’s my body that will be polished to blood red.
I hope to have the Sunburst finished in two or three weeks and I pray the Seeley Gods that my leg will be OK enough to ride.
About my leg: I still have a wound with infection and this will need a chirurgical intervention by the end ot the month.
I can walk the whole day without any help, but it is still painful, night and day.
Every morning one hour with the physiotherapist and ten minutes with the nurse for de-infection of my wound.
I know the nurse for more than thirty years, I did try to go out with her, but no way! Time gave me my revenge, thirty years ago she had long legs and big tits, today she got long tits and big legs...
I’ll keep you posted (about the Sunburst, not the nurse!)
Yves
