Thumper
« on: June 17, 2008, 04:03:59 PM »
Re-examining thumper project which has been frought with difficulty.
XL600 motor in CB360 frame.
Engine too far forward--nose dives
Torque of motor seems to twist frame.
Rear swing arm articulates side to side-providing
rear wheel steering-this can be a real problem if you're not ready for it.

          Hey Phil, I wanted to check your "Thumper" out, but the picture wasn't there. I tried to click on the link at the bottom of the white space, but that didn't work either. Can you help out? Looking forward to seeing it too!

My question is regarding the sound track.  Are the bongos real or synthesized?

Bongos are synthesized along with a few riffs off my Theremin.
