I had some very kind people throw a paper mcdonalds cup "full" of drink and ice at me in my rocket - I have no windscreen, it hit me straight in visor. I was doing 60ish they would be doing the same - they were travelling opposite direction. Broke visor right off, luckily I wear glasses too which the cup pushed around my eye and left a very nasty/nice bruise.
Hate to think if I hadn't had helmet on take some/most of the force out of it. Agree with Martin, always helmet unless your nipping about town on 30/40 mph roads.

Any thoughts on meeting up and convoying down ? Remember the Dartford tunnel you have to pay by the following day and it's no longer toll booths.

Tunnel Booked - Fatboy, do you want to meet up around the Doncaster/Sheffield/Nottingham area and travel down to the tunnel together ?

Good to hear we have someone going to carry on producing the rockets. Welcome. Sadly no idea about a chassis.

Sure, just the weather forecast was quite warm for Saturday, was hoping it was dirvable - ended up raining, Sunday it had just about dried out in the afternoon, but by then couldn't be bothered going out.

Not sure where to put it, hence here
Anyone up for a drive Saturday/Sunday either Sheffield/Peak district way, or up towards Scarborough/Whitby.
I live lincolnshire way on, but if someone wants to meet up and go on a a cold drive somewhere....
Pop me a msg and we'll sort something out.

I have no issues water temp, but oil shows 115+ admitedly it was warm as hell that day. I might just ignore it or unplug the sensor - what u don't know....... I have a temp/permanent pipe securely attached to the side with tiewraps and duct tape sending air to oil cooler. Will see how it handles cadwell. Will also try removing rear cover see what ifany difference that makes. I probably need a bigger oil cooler - its tiny, but no space to put it unless it goes on top.

I live 30 mins away from it. Its pretty damn good. 105db limit - handy. Its got straight bits, twisty bits and up n downy bits. Pretty much everything you want. Beware though easy to come off in places and not much run off before you hit something hard and costly, certain parts you come off and its random whether you hit the armco or not. But having said that its well worth a visit for anyone. Just drive at 90% max and leave a bit for escaping if something does go wrong. Going on the 9th Oct in the rocket. Trying a bit of air to oil cooler. Will also try taking the engine cover off Kris, see if that helps with the oil temp, and air intake temp.
