I look at the bike as an experiment and work in progress.  When I work
on the front end steering lock-lock limitation I plan on adding brake
mounting brackets on the front of the fork tube since there is not
enough room on the trailing side.  I will have t swap the calipers
side to side.  It will be interesting to see the difference in lift
effect.  I will only be using it as a commuter on city streets with a
45MPH speed limit.  Round trip is 15 miles.  Hopefully I can keep the
dirt off the track.  On riding on rainy days with the exposed

Tony is a friend of mine. We've had an exchange of emails, starting many
years ago, about electric motorcycles and Feet Forward designs. He stayed
with me for a comple of days when he came back to the UK after an 11 year
absence in Spain where he now lives.  This resulted in a very bizarre phone
call when a very familiar voice asked for Tony and I realised after a few
seconds that it was Keith Duckworth, half of Cosworth!

Tony shares some of my concerns about the curved track design and says the
devil's in the details.

There's a picture of Tony on my Scirocco website. It's the last one in the
Lynch Streamliner section.
