| Cityxslicker |
yum on both accounts | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
Nice "Harley". Also, Pushrods are optional. | ||

I like the speedway bike look. | ||
| Doz |
Chopper daves does some cool stuff | ||
| Ratbuell |
Still a bigger fuel tank than an XR... | ||
| Seanp |
Sure looks like a blast to me! I don't know what the bike is though. | ||
| Strokizator |
Maybe going for that board-tracker look. No brakes front or rear. Yikes! | ||

Ummm- is the image reversed? Kickstand is, don't see the final drive yet... Guess Ms. Takemoto blinded me... | ||
| Cityxslicker |
looks more like jawa ice / arena racer vs board tracker race bike, no kickstand  timing cover is on the correct side | ||
| Lightstick |
It's a Blast powered speedway bike. | ||
| 86129squids |
OK, got that, but how's the final drive work? (I could improvise one with her...) | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I guess Satan provides the valve drive? | ||
| 46champ |
Final drive comes off the same side as the primary drive. Speedway bikes don't run a transmission just a jackshaft. | ||
| Guell |
oh id have a blast on that  | ||
| 86129squids |
Hhhhuuhhuhh Hhhuuhhhuuhuhuh he said "jackshaft"... | ||

 http://blog.mac-motorcycles.com/category/mac-news/ Now that is a Blast! With a Harris Frame! EZ | ||

EZ, too bad the Mac will never see the light of day. Not with a Blast powerplant, anyway. ~SM | ||

You don't keep up - do you? - lol - Mac is still to continue with the Blast engine they figure they can still buy engines retail and used, maybe get a discount from a dealer - doesn't matter, they are sticking with the Blast motor - per their decision - I was happily surprised by that latest letter to know, and they are going on with production, with Mr. Harris designing the frame - and the cool parts used - wow - what a face lift - a geared up Blast motor could make that a great piece of fun on two wheels - and a few after market parts to personalize - a great bike to enjoy! They are deep in it, shouldn't be to long till their proto-type is running, and then they send the motor to a builder for massaging - lol - someone should bring up JTS to them - lol EZ | ||

last update I got from them was this: We have now heard formally from the 'Top Brass' at Harley-Davidson / Buell that we cannot buy new Buell Blast motors from them. They took our request very seriously and treated us professionally and we wish them well for the future of their company but this means we're going to have to re-think the way we can build more than one Mac motorcycle, we would welcome your thoughts on how you think we could do this. The suped-up second-hand engine they're using is for the prototype only. But all this was from february. I haven't gotten any more emails from them since, so I dunno what's up currently. ~SM | ||

It would be cool if they sold it as a kit designed to use a stock Blast as a donor. | ||

I got this a few weeks ago - the reason I mentioned them - On Sat, Dec 4, 2010 at 9:17 AM, Mac Motorcycles <info@mac-motorcycles.com> wrote: Dear Ed we know it's been a while since we last gave you an update and we're sorry for the 'radio silence' but we are keen to let you know how we've been getting on with the Mac 'Spud' prototype. We are progressing quickly now and it looks like we'll be riding and testing the 'Frankenstein' prototype soon after Christmas. We'll probably take Christmas Day off but skive (English slang for the practice of avoiding responsibilities because you want to do something more fun) the washing-up and sneak-off to the workshop when the family's dozing on the sofa. We'll soon to have to start making some major decisions about producing the motorbikes and getting them to you. As always, we'd ask you, our loyal supporters, to give us your thoughts. We think we have a couple of options for you but we would like to know what you think ; 1. We can build a complete bike for you, to your own specification, using a rebuilt Buell 'Blast' motor. 2. We can produce and supply a kit / rolling-chassis to your own specification with everything but the motor. Price will be influenced by the way you'd like us to build your Mac, the final specification and the cost of shipping your motorbike to you. In spite of being a bit behind our ambitious schedule, our enthusiasm hasn't waned one bit and if you have a few moments, you could take a look at our blog, where you'll see all the latest photos of the 'Frankenstein Spud' ; <http://blog.mac-motorcycles.com/category/mac-news/> http://blog.mac-motorcycles.com/category/mac-news/ More soon, we promise and, in the meantime, we really hope you'll share your thoughts with us.

The Glamorous Assistant has already asked Santa for a new pair of pyjamas - she's worn hers out keeping in-touch with you this year. Suggestions on colour and style are invited... Thats the last letter I got! That is cool news! EZ | ||

EZ has anyone seen any prices yet? Do I understand that they are now talking roller that we supply the motor for. |
