Am I dreaming or what? (Soviet iron con't)

No, but if one is purporting to give advice, it's a start.

 

There's an engineer on ukrm who built his outfit for our Elefant trip
last year. It was a hell of a lot of work. Just about anyone can bolt a
third wheel onto a motorcycle. To make something the works and, more
importantly, handles and steers even half-predictably, isn't.

Don't even pretend that you know how to do it.

 

How the **** do *you* know what I know and what I don't know, Panty
Prancer?

I learned about sidecar chasses 40 years ago from a man whose father
used to weave wicker sidecar baskets in England after The Great War.

He said that "heaviness is next to godliness" in sidecar chassis
design.

Everything he "designed" was massively overbuilt because he didn't
understand stress and strain and strength of materials.

Since he didn't understand welding ferrous metals, he hired a man to
*braze* his own production frames, just like the Rickmans used to do.

Nowadays he's an importer of Watsonian and Velorex sidecars.

He's still in the same shop he was in 40 years ago, among a community
of very independant Los Angeles motorcycle enthusiasts.

If that guy can succeed in building sidecar chasses, anybody can do
it.

 

Thus speaks the engineering virgin. You know nothing but claim
knowledge of everything...rather typical of an uneducated failure. I
suppose next you'll claim that structuaral cast steel can not be oxy/
acyl welded.

 

There's a bold statement from a four-eyed twit who's hestitant about
testing non-spill aluminum foil fruit drink packaging.

Were you afraid it would splash on your loafers, or what?

 

I know that you know.... nothing. Tis has been proven time and again.

What, precisely, does basket weaving have to do with sidecar chassis
engineering?

He was wrong.

The inverted commas denote "not real", then.

So he was an ignoramus. Right.

Yup, an ignoramus.

except they did it properly.

So his own sidecars failed in the market. OK.

But his sidecars aren't.

Wrong again.

What *are* you rabbiting on about?

 

I hear you can oxy-acetylene weld polystyrene, but ya gotta
sneak up on that stuff JUST so....;-)

The Best Innovation in Packaging and Processing award was won by
RDA Organic for its Sqqquishy and Squeeezy range of drinks. Targeted
at 10 year-olds, this pouch pack features a patented automatic closure
valve that makes it virtually spill-proof: of particular interest in
the
home or car. Murray commented: "The judging panel from
FOODNEWS, Canadean and SGF submitted the packs to their own
tests and their natural caution in dropping opened packs of juice on
the ground was soon overcome by the realisation that this product
does exactly what it says on the tin: or rather, pouch."

So. Were you afraid of splashing fruit juice on your penny loafers,
tootsie?

 

Any manufacturing engineering student can easily look up the
weldability of steel according to its carbon content to determine
whether it will need to be heat treated after welding.

Low carbon structural steel has a carbon content of only 0.3 ~ 0.4%
and there is NO problem in welding it and letting it cool naturally.

But when enthusiastic engineers started trying to use high strength
chromolly aircraft tubing to build motorcycle chasses in the 1960's,
they quickly learned that there was more to the process than prepping
the tubes, and jigging and welding them.

 

I want to know who the Soviet cont is

I can easily believe that you've gotten KY jelly on your hands, but
you've never dirtied your hands with *work* in your whole prissy life.

 

Actually the part where the Neopolitan eunuch "rescued" the pope's
illegitimate daughter from the Morrocans and then turned around and
*sold* her to the Turks who cut off one of her butt cheeks and *ate
it* is quite humourous...

 

You can "take it" any way you like.

Up the ass, for all I care.

What works for TOG might not work for you, but you'll have to
determine for yourself what works for you.

 

Gee you didn't just read naked lunch...you live it. Nothing to give me
a laugh at pathetic losers quiet like your impotent postings
krusty...keep trying, all you've done in life is fail so you might
improve a bit. Granted the only way you'd improve is if someone burnt
you at the stake.

 

as I suspected you have no clue what you are nattering about...too
much oxycotin shopping and mixing it with OE800 I suspect...it is the
cocktail of choice for your type of people.

 

yep...and use low heat by not getting the flame too close. ;^) Granted
last time I did that I used butane and atmospheric O2. It ain't pretty
but it holds...

 

Look it UP? A real engineer KNOWS what he's dealing with. Obviously
you don't...some of us do these things as a matter of course.

uh-huh sure...you keep attempting to think and that greasy skull of
yours might actually heat up enough to smoke a bit. I wont tell you
WHERE you are wrong, just that you are blatantly and hilariously
wrong.

I wont tell you why you and they were wrong but those frame engineers
are STILL fucking up...though they do have a clue.

Now little glue sniffer why don't you run along and suck off your
uncle for some more oxycotton candy that you love to take so much of.

 

You really *are* turning into a psycho stalker, aren't you? I'm
absolutely amazed that you've Googled me this thoroughly. I'm proud of
the way I've cultivated you.

 

Screw that , I have an aluminum foundry in my back yard . I'd CAST 'em .
Then do the final fit and machining in my machine shop .
