hmmmm, wieder charmant geantwortet, norbert.
ich glaub aber, dass es hier weniger um besitzerstolz geht, als um das interesse am basteln, der technik an sich, am machbaren, den wirrungen von versuch und erfolg, schlussendlich custo,izing auf hohem level. noch jede diesel, die mir untergekommen ist, hatte eigenständige lösungsansätze vorzuweisen. ok, sparsam sind sie auch, die kisten.
das 'erfahren' so einer diesel lässt aber alle argumente hinten anstehen, weil das gefühl, wirklich das gefühl einzigartig ist.
tacktacktack!1!!
mehr info findeste auch auf
dieselbike.nethier mein derzeitiger favorit, und zwar weil sie praktisch aus schrott gebaut wurde. ich fang schon an zu hirnen ob meiner schwarzen es... ;)
"Brian Rutherford's MZ Yanmar Diesel Motorcycle
I live just outside Edinburgh in Scotland and have just finished my diesel MZ (they are never truly finished are they ?). It started life as a 1972 MZ 250 ES TROPHY that a friend gave to me a long time ago (5 years plus) . Then one night at my local rally bike club ( SPECIAL K ) I was discussing what to do with the TROPHY and how it was so ugly it was good. Another friend said that he had two Yanmars living under his bench at work and that they were going to be scrapped, so that was how the project began.
So one sorry looking MZ, two Yanmar LA 100 engines (one for spares), a box of comet cvt parts bought from e-Bay and the project was on. It was always going to be a long project because of other commitments: wife, children, friends, work, my other bikes and rallies. I have made as many parts as I could myself and what I could not do, my friends helped or the internet has proved me with. My friend Davey at spectrum bike paints (07788904946) did the subtle paint for me.
Your site has proved to be a very good source of ideas and information on what can be done.
Here is a list of parts I have made.
Main engine cradle
Battery box
Primary cover
Front brake anchor
Back brake arm
Front sprocket cover
Number plate
There are parts that have been modified originals or from other bikes but the list is quite long. I also wired it myself so I am not so sure about how long before the lights stop working."
