Jordan Meadows - Diesel Cafe Racer

Post by andrewaust »

A friend dropped off a February 2010 edition of Cycle Torque ( http://issuu.com/cycletorque/docs/feb10emagv2 ) that mentions a chap by the name of Jordan Meadows who is looking to build a bio diesel Metalback V4 diesel motorcycle.

His main link is here: http://jordanmeadowsdesign.com/index.php

Another article is here: http://www.justauto.com.au/justbikes/kn ... 8e2057d428

Text from his website posted below

The Metalback concept exists at the junction of substance and sustainability meeting speed and style. Currently, the Motorcycle market is devoid of product which has been designed for sustainability while still offering style and uniqueness for the enthusiast.

The concept is powered by a v4 engine running on bio diesel. This increases the range and MPG well above conventional gasoline bikes while running on a fuel which is more environmentally-friendly. Its frame and skin are crafted from recycled aluminium. This has the advantage of saving weight to enhance performance while reclaiming pre-used material. In the manufacturing process, the alloy is treated to patina and age naturally without expensive and harmful paint applications. The net effect is a raw natural surface which suits the classic cafe racer and recalls the romance and power of vintage WW2 fighter planes.


Any updates I'll post up ;)
