Sometime round about 1985. Take a vaccum cleaner that can also blow, one large sheet of plywood with a "skirt" (wooden battens or cloth will do). Cut a hole in the wood to take the nozzle. Put vacuum cleaner on board, plug in, turn on and voila! One floating vacuum cleaner!

Hey, it was a long wet summer, and the idea of building a hovercraft seemed like a good one. This was our "proof of concept" model, we never got to the stage of building the one with the moped engine and extractor fan.

Have fun!

The phrase "hover", which had been used, in conjunction with the "sucking" comment, made me thing Hoover Vacuum cleaners. They do suck. In a good way.

Not that I'd want to attach one to my saddle.

5 hours without a dismount is indeed a big deal. I'm sure few have done it.

As to that, I just want to get in, hopefully before Harper does, and say "NO

John is correct. This is not an appropriate forum for photos such as these. Instead, send them by e-mail directly to John.

Uh, I believe my message was clear enough. But come to think of it, I
suppose a picture of that (yuck) wouldn't be too out of place on my 'Things
not to do' page, right after #35:

(don't look if you think you won't like what you'll see--a picture of
Bloodman could scare anybody!)

Until recently, I had to stop if I needed a drink. On a long-ish ride last
weekend I discovered for the first time that I can reach my bottle out of
its cage, take a drink, and return it whilst on the move. Now *that* felt
like progress!
