THE HOSSACK ARMY BIKE

                              Ministry of Defence
I think this was some of my best and most creative design work.
The army was looking for alternatives to their in-service Armstrong motorcycle for their squaddies
                        This was my offering.
1    easy and quick wheel-changing
2    able to carry a spare on then bike
3    same wheel front and rear
4    pressured air supply in suspension leg 
5    ability to replace inner tube without removing the wheel

The demo rig I built to show how easy wheel-changing could be 

Pierre Terblanche drew up this image while he was studying at the Royal College of Art. I used It in my presentation to the Ministry of Defence. 
Sadly my adventure with the MoD did not fly and left me broke.  

Component picture to show how simple the system was.
