ELEVEN
ELEVEN
I want to share with everyone my little joy.
Today, September 11, after a month and 8 days of hard work, a significant date has formed - the birthday of a homemade two-wheeled vehicle named "ELEVEN" or "Odinnadcatiy", if in Russian.
"The Eleventh" is a cheerful and perky motorcycle, the donor of which was a thoroughly rusted-out workaholic-moped Honda Dream 110 cc of 1995 (!) Release, which was thrown into a landfill because of his leaving the world different.
Ask why "ELEVEN" and not something else?
It's just that for today's date, besides the birth of this orange vehicle, there were several more important events.
Firstly, today is the birthday of my eldest daughter Olya, secondly, September 11 is officially considered the birthday of a faceted glass (on this day in 1943, the world's first faceted glass was produced at the Gus-Khrustalnensky plant), and thirdly, another date , sad - on September 11, 2001, a terrorist attack was committed in New York, and fourthly, Eleven is the eleventh motorcycle in my Khmer motorcycle stable.
At first there was only an idea and a rusty-rusty dead donor, but in a month and eight days this idea was overgrown with various quite tangible details and it turned out what happened.
One more important fact should be noted - without the help of my Khmer friend, by the name of Sok Mean, a very good gas welder and technically savvy person, my idea could not have been realized in this form.
If you only knew how many technical disputes arose and resolved between us over this month, how many copies we broke with him in these disputes, and our "conversations" were rather peculiar - I only speak and understand Khmer a little bit, and Sok Mean neither no words sprinkle neither in English nor in Russian!
And one more interesting fact regarding the creation of Eleven - all work, except for painting, was carried out in the open air on a 2x3 meter concrete step right next to a public road.
Everything was done literally on the knees. No specialized boxes with measuring devices, CNC machine tools, laser stands, hydraulic jacks or other crap-any special equipment.
Only a carbide acetylene generator (also, by the way, homemade), a hammer and no nails.
In short, here are the pictures, in general terms, telling about how the Orange Odinnadcatiy was built from the very beginning to the present day.
I am very glad - the motorcycle turned out to be decent, exclusive and very technically bright.
Thank you Sok Mean!

cool looking build

Re: ELEVEN
Cool seats So the fuel tank is in the frame? Range?
Re: ELEVEN
yes, the fuel tank is at the top of the frame.
Re: ELEVEN
That is a good way of passing time, enjoyable in having an interest and working alongside a Khmer who has an interest too. What I am trying to say even with a language barrier there's interaction with interest, so then understandings. Result is that more then just a good job on a moto. Nice moto. "No" Bad ass moto.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: ELEVEN
Cool bike, with the satisfaction of building it yourself. Great job SINUS!!
Re: ELEVEN
Nice job.
An idea if you build another one. Build one with big wide tires. It would be brilliant in mud and sand.
I would like to build a four wheeled electric bicycle with solar panels on the roof. You could have transport and not need to buy fuel.
Another idea I have, is to get one of the stronger tuk tuks, and convert it to have 2 front wheels. This would greatly reduce the chance of a roll over. The little Indian Pass app tuk tuks are built to light. You would have to reinforce them if you converted them to have 2 front wheels.
I have other ideas too. I will probably never make them.
