I've heavily admired the BAC Mono ever since I saw it gracing the pages of EVO way back well over 12 years ago when they were first producing them...

I'm sure Mrs, Leno would like to see Jay limit his bike riding these days, especially after he was nearly garroted on one of his side hacks. I wonder what paint scheme he's getting.

If this had a glass (of course whatever material) dome shield (jet fighter type) that slid forward/back to open/close it would make it at least a tad usable and would likely be a highlight feature, and likely make it MORE aerodynamic. It would fit perfectly to the roll bar enclosure. Wouldn't even have to be airtight and could be removable.
@overbuiltlimited Місяць тому
Second this! The lack of even a windscreen makes this a deal breaker. As someone who is shopping for an Ariel Atom, I can say I didn't get really interested until they added the windscreen. I can't be the only one who doesn't want to look like a knob head driving around town wearing a helmet. To the people who say that you don't HAVE to wear a helmet in a BAC, I would ask, have you ever been hit in the face by a large hard insect or a small rock while at speed?

@WalterBurton Місяць тому
Mr. Briggs' comments about the difference between plastic molding versus 3D printing totally check out, and it's good to hear it any manufacturing context. Batch-size matters! And, yes, this is a "luxury" product, but it's a perfect example of the type of component manufacturing that just gets more and more important as we "re-shore" industrial output. (Think security implications. Not just weapons. A division gets a one-off batch of a thousand aerial drones that have a special hook to do who knows what.)
