Cab cut through

AFB Drag Racing — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:26:24 +0000

Shamus has sent a couple of pictures from the truck. One of the trickier things that are needed on the bus, as the cut through must allow the cab to tilt, thus allowing access to the engine, as well as maintaining a good seal. He has also fitted solid shocks to limit the movement of the cab whilst in motion. More pics as it progresses.

Busy busy

With the bike coming along nicely now, Shamus has been working hard getting the truck finished, along with mediatopia putting our new website together and the rest of us thinking about new uniforms etc ready for the new season. We are hoping to have more updates in the coming weeks as things start to get closer to the finishing line.

New bike is coming along a treat!

Many thanks to Martin and Cindy at Psycleworkz for entertaining us this morning. We met at the shop to deliver the new gearbox which arrived a couple of weeks ago and to have a look at the progress on the build.

When we arrived there were plenty of parts ready for us to have a look at that have been machined and lots of drawings nearing completion.

Judging by what we have seen this morning, 2013 is going to be an exciting year for everyone involved.

Gearbox arrives

The new Owens 2 speed has arrived from the States so we look forward to taking that to Psycleworkz in the coming weeks. During that visit we will take some pictures of the new parts Martin has made. We are told that the back end of the chassis has come together so we are looking forward to shortly having a rolling chassis.

New Website coming soon

We’re thrilled that @mediatopia are just about to begin work on our new website, looking forward to seeing a draft soon!

Truck back end

Some work by Shamus on the back end of the truck today. The tall rear doors have been cut so that the upper bunks remain behind closed doors, plus it will make things much easier when opening and closing. Shiner’s fold away bunk has also gone into the workshop area so that he’s never far away from his tools!

Quick bike update

AFB Drag Racing — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:57:28 +0000

Martin and Cindy from Psycleworkz have been in touch with a quick update on the bike. Many parts have now been machined with more on the way. We did lose some time due to the pieces lost in the fire but new billets have been delivered to the shop.

We have had word that our new Owen gearbox has now left the states and our pistons have been ordered from Ross Racing Pistons in the US.

Once the gearbox arrives, Martin will set to work on the chassis, the wheels are already here so it won’t be long until we have something that looks like a bike.

There is an update on its way to Eurodragter so please keep an eye out, below you can see some pictures of bike pieces both finished and in progress.

Some more truck pics

After a recent visit to Bristol, I stopped in to see Shamus’s progress on the truck. In the pictures you can see the kitchen and living area taking shape, the shower room, bunks above the workshop and belly lockers giving access to the under floor tanks and storage areas.

Klunk Retired

It is with regret that we must announce the reirement of our trusty pit bike Klunk. As you can see, he will be quite happy from his new home, keeping an eye on Shamus in the workshop.
