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 

Component picture to show how simple the system was.

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.
