More than two decades of operation legkomotornyh and sports bikes with an analysis of the ongoing failures has allowed us to develop a number of practical recommendations that may be of interest to readers-cyclists. Established, for example, the rear wheel goes down more often than the front. So, the front wheel of my “vsepogodnymi” has successfully passed about 100,000 km It still “feels good”.
The owners of a motorcycle with a sidecar often wonder about how to increase its capacity? The original solution to this question offered a reader of our magazine A. Tatarnikov in his article “Compliant trailer”, published in the “Modeller-designer” №12 for 1992. The design of its motorized with asymmetrical location of the node coupling and gauge coincides with the track of the tractor, has become quite popular among motorcyclists. Over the years, there are many versions of the famous trailer. Today is one of the latest and most interesting.
Many years spend their holidays together with the family and the village is Big Yak-Shen Nizhny Novgorod region. Lovely place, kind and friendly people, feasible physical labor on a small kitchen garden that still need a citizen to stay? Working in the magazine and receiving letters from Amateur designers from different regions of Russia, thought: why not get e-mails from places that have become to me already native? Really there moved their Kulibin? Became interested, to make inquiries and last summer’s arrival was pleasantly pleased.
Log “modelist-Konstruktor” reading since 1982. Since I am an active supporter of technical creativity. Farmersto now, but before when I worked in the local newspaper, tried to the extent possible, to popularise technical creativity among the readers. First released the category “DIY” and then a thematic band “the masters Club”. I have been publishing for Amateur construction, and in other publications — in the Republican youth newspaper “Leninets” in the Moscow newspaper “Gardeners”, in the newspaper “Victory”, in the journal “Farmer”.
For repair and construction works often require different, up to large-sized lumber, the lumber purchase and delivery which sometimes is not easy. Everything is easier if you have (albeit not heavy duty) sawmill at home. Especially collapsible, not occupies in storage a lot of space. For example, I am very happy with my homemade sawmill. “Circular saw” fixed on the shaft 5-kilowatt electric motor, which is mounted on telefonnoi trolley, easy moving along steel guides. From existing analogues is my sawmill is characterized primarily in that is designed for a single employee, a pensioner.
Is it possible? It would seem that it is hard to imagine this sleek high-speed motorcycle as a truck. However, it perfectly copes with the role of the heavies, thanks to the reliable and durable engine with good fins, as well as ample torque throughout the range of rotation of the crankshaft. I must say that this is my “Java-350/634” sidecar “Velorex-562” operated for ten years. Mileage was about 60 000 km With a full load the bike confidently overcame long distances and on motorways and on dirt roads. The roads and highly rugged terrain was not an obstacle for him. Trouble-free service of the motorcycle in these conditions is a sufficient proof that under normal conditions, in addition to three riders, it is capable of transporting significant cargo. But where to place it? The load capacity of the carriages is limited by the magnitude of 105 kg, to install additional trunk it did not make sense. The logical conclusion is to make a cargo trailer.
