Metal Malarkey "Featherbed" style frame

The std featherbed frame is not suitable for larger powered applications where a permanent steep headstock top tube is used. This was proven when we had our Metisse frame type approved.
We design with a "six tube" headstock - the two top tubes running back to meet the start of top loop.
Frame built using high tensile tube, Bronze welded.

Wheel base 3 inch shorter than standard.
Rake angle 2.5 degrees less than standard.
Resulting reduced trail has meant much sharper steering characteristics.
All superfluous bracketry removed. Petrol tank and Imolar tail piece alloy, wheels replaced with Borrani

Stainless exhaust system - Metal Malarkey

Riding this bike gives a huge grin factor!

Festival of a thousand bikes

Mallory Park

The first visit to the track since racing school in early 90s. The track has been tamed somewhat but still great to be a spectator sitting on a bank above Devil's Elbow supping a pint of cider.

Spent hours wandering around paddocks viewing a vast array of class machinery. Saw the Peregrine stroker in the flesh - we had machined the yokes and provided electrical components.
