Getting one as soon as possible mate, but finances are still short.

[Kickaha]

So you going to front up this tubby or will you still be sulking? :finger:

[Toast]

Will be interesting to see if there are actually enough of them in existence to make a class? Hopefully the backyard engineered dogs amongst them don't spill their guts all over the track, too. If those two points don't show up as problems it should make for a cool watch :) Especially if they can field 10+

[Kickaha]

Hopefully the backyard engineered dogs amongst them don't spill their guts all over the track

Yeah because we've never seen any other class do that have we?

[scrivy]

So you going to front up?

Why? What's on this weekend?? :shifty::shutup:
NAH, TOLD YOU BEFORE - GOTTA WORK BOTH DAYS.....
My boss won't give me the days off...........

[Kickaha]

Why? What's on this weekend?? :shifty::shutup:
NAH, TOLD YOU BEFORE - GOTTA WORK BOTH DAYS.....
My boss won't give me the days off...........

Not this weekend Dickhead, for the VMCC Actrix series

You've got time to give your boss plenty of notice, or just close up and fuck off, he'd never notice you were gone

[scrivy]

Not this weekend Dickhead, for the VMCC Actrix series
There won't be enough front up.......

If those two points don't show up as problems it should make for a cool watch :) Especially if they can field 10+I've seen plenty of bikes drop oil, or break down in other ways, but never seen a rig do it.

As for the numbers, I think you'd be surprised how many rigs are around, and all going well Whitetrash and I will have one aswell.

[Tony.OK]

Now that will be worth a drive down to see!

[Drew]

Now that will be worth a drive down to see!
You know it broseph. If we cant keep up, we'll do lots of skids and flip it instead. ( The correct term for flipping a rig, is turtle-ing. Worth riding them just for the cool lingo I reckon.)

[Str8 Jacket]

( The correct term for flipping a rig, is turtle-ing.)

What about 'clacking'? ;)

[neil_cb125t]

Ah side cars REGULARY blow out and seem to do about 3/4 of a lap before they decide to get of the fucking track.. then they take 900 hours to rescue, example at nationals when we needed to remove the bodywork to get one out of T1's gravel trap.

I thought VMCC got rid of motards and WERE'NT going to add any more classes so for once we can get full races for a whole meet - instead of " sorry we've had to cut it to 4 laps for the last race and street stock pack up your not getting another go "

If more than 10 are there all year then ill stand corrected.....i give it 2 rounds.

[Kickaha]

Tell that to the missus........


If you had any balls you'd tell her yourself, but I guess she keeps them in her handbag

Regulary blow up? really? so how many have blown up this year?, I 'll tell you FUCKING none at the nationals or any club round I've been to,, in fact the last time I saw one go that was terminal and punched a hole in the motor was at least 3 years ago

Yeah cause of course all those solo riding munters get off the track immediately and none of them have ever held any meeting up through crashing :lol:

[scrivy]

Other useful sidecar terms are: Au, get me a couple of pies, and: Gizza box of Heinies

You're welcome! :)

Thats because nobody is actually RACING this year, just riding around in slow lonley circles.

Only if I'd been in the riders seat

Ok, lets argue this civilised since I just deleted three lines in the interest of not starting a shit fight.

Chair crashes rarely need any more than a tow out of the gravel, making them quicker to clean up than a two wheeled off most the time.

They also dont require medical assistance as often, making it quicker to get the next race out since the ambulance must be available during all track time.

In the event that the race in front of them runs long due to a crash/ambulance mobilising, they do not need to be sent back to pits to allow for tyre warmers to be put on as they dont use them. Meaning no fucking around as soon as the track is clear.

But all that aside, why the fuck should two wheeled riders get four times the track time as a rig? There are two riders on each one to enjoy the time out there.

The class is fucking huge overseas, why are there no Kiwi's of note riding?

Motards had a chance to do their thing, and had numbers been big enough there is no way they'd have been dropped. Let's bring back the chairs, and give them the same choice. Especially since there's no north island series for them to ride that I've ever heard of.

[sidecar bob]

How i laughed when i read that!!!!

[Kickaha]

There might be a couple who would be capable of qualifying but if they didn't get lapped they'd be very fortunate

When Stacey was winning over here he was the bottom end of the field in Europe

Also incredibly expensive to do

Ha yeah a good one this little roo is!!

Well when i was on the commitee last - about 3 years ago we dropped side cars as they had fields of 5-6, and as the year progressed it would dimish.....they would pay thier money, enter and then sign on........ and GO HOME. They got 3 stamps in their log book so they could compete at wangas and paeroa... and then F&*K off....

The reason 2 wheelers need and deserve more track time is cause we do all the orginising, the only guy i know is andy - who did the BADD 3 hr.
Its just another breed of motard for the club..... motard would moan all year " manfields tostraight" then " our races are to short" then 6 guys would do both motard classes...

If 3 wheelers wanna grow and get people into the sport they need to start giving back. the also need a developement or entry level class - i think the biggest prob is that the guys that are "new" to the sport ride old rigs with old donks that DO BLOW gaskets.

the top rigs are very impressive, Get them to the track AND get all the other guys WANTING to progress - like what road racers do... then maybe they will be an asset to have around... just seen it before so hard to shake the old memories dude.

If a chair club held meetings - and road races came along took up a spot in the program and did what chairs did to VMCC.. had only a few competitors... chair guys would tekll us to get f&*ked 3 years later.

[Foxzee]

Righty ho….before all get really excited and turn this thread into another bird fight…let’s save ya feathers….

Yes the rig’s are coming back to VMCC however only for 3 meetings out of the 6 Winter Series 2010 .

At this point I think I need to remind all….we all get our licenses from the same place and if I recall correctly it starts with MOTORCYCLING. For our sport to grow we need to move forward and that means trying different things or re-hashing where we have gone before and reworking it to make it work for everyone....this is not going to happen overnight but will in time if everyone works united.

As for getting in a full racing Programme…..there are so many variables no matter how many or what classes we run there is the potential for the meeting to run behind or cut short… one variable will always remain and that is rider safety and care no matter how long it takes and how many laps we have to cut down to achieve this.

I hope to see many rig's on the grid as I hope to see many full fields of the other classes we run....

[viewer]

...this is not going to happen overnight but will in time if everyone works united.

and therin lies your problem. Ask the sidecar people what happens when people don't play unitedly, and go off and do there own things to the detrement of there own club

[Drew]

There might be a couple who would be capable of qualifying but if they didn't get lapped they'd be very fortunate

Also incredibly expensive to doThat's my point mate. If the class was bigger here, our competitors would be of a higher level.


Ha yeah a good one this little roo is!!

They got 3 stamps in their log book so they could compete at wangas and paeroa... and then F&*K off....That's pretty cynical, but I wasn't there so I'll take your word for it. But the only reason I raced vic club way back when on my FZR was for the same reason.


The reason 2 wheelers need and deserve more track time is cause we do all the orginising, the only guy i know is andy - who did the BADD 3 hr.
Its just another breed of motard for the club..... motard would moan all year " manfields tostraight" then " our races are to short" then 6 guys would do both motard classes...Right, the rest of us dont bitch about things at all. The entire fraternity are moaners who wont get off arse and do something about it. Shut up shop and call it a day shall we?


If 3 wheelers wanna grow and get people into the sport they need to start giving back. the also need a developement or entry level class - i think the biggest prob is that the guys that are "new" to the sport ride old rigs with old donks that DO BLOW gaskets.I thought the only way to go racing on a chair was gonna cost a fortune to run at a decent clip. Yet since Jimmy and I expressed interest, Warwick sends me a link every couple months to a decent chair for sale, for less than a pro twin bike. A set of tyres will last a season, (unless you're Scrivy and make 'em last TWO), and there are two people sharing the cost.


the top rigs are very impressive, Get them to the track AND get all the other guys WANTING to progress - like what road racers do... then maybe they will be an asset to have around... just seen it before so hard to shake the old memories dude.Yeah, all the two wheel riders do everything they can to progress, that'd be why the nationals run record LOW entry numbers at the moment.


If a chair club held meetings - and road races came along took up a spot in the program and did what chairs did to VMCC.. had only a few competitors... chair guys would tekll us to get f&*ked 3 years later.You're probably right about what they'd say, but doesn't somebody have to make the first move.

There is a segregation between sidecars and two wheel bikes I'd like to see done away with. How many people have gone for a wander around the pits and stopped to say g'day to the chair guys at the nats? They smell bad I'll grant you, but they are fuckin cool! Funny as hell and having a ball. The only one to watch is that Warwick, doesn't drink so he cant be trusted.

Have a look at an LCR with it's clothes off too, fuckin engineering is from another planet.

[Drew]

and therin lies your problem. Ask the sidecar people what happens when people don't play unitedly, and go off and do there own things to the detrement of there own clubYeah, or you could ask the bears guys the same thing. What's your point?

Who turned their back on whom is knida beside the point. There are always gonna be smaller numbers of chairs at any meeting, because it appeals to a smaller percentage of bikers. So why shouldn't we do a bit more for them than they can do for us? We are all still bikers after all.

I feel the love..............

I will advocate sidecars all day long, but if you too are gonna keep declaring your love this way, I'm gonna lose enthusiasm...and my lunch.

I am well aware of what has happened ...so now this is going to become an issue to all?....wot happens in people's backyards need to stay there..I for one don't want to know about your's or pass judgement on it...so let's not make judgement....leave the opportunity to those who want to take it

[Foxzee]

I will advocate sidecars all day long, but if you too are gonna keep declaring your love this way, I'm gonna lose enthusiasm...and my lunch.

Admit it you just really want a bar of that soap donctha!:)

Everyone knows you dont use soap Andy, why you think we all stand three feet away when we're talkin to ya?

[Pussy]

I will advocate sidecars all day long, but if you too are gonna keep declaring your love this way, I'm gonna lose enthusiasm...and my lunch.

Just remember, Drew.... if you drop anything in the sidecar pits, just kick it over to a wall or fence before picking it up. Apart from that, I reckon the sidecar bunch are pretty good bastards

[Kickaha]

I am well aware of what has happened ...so now this is going to become an issue to all?...

It shouldn't.

Sidecars have been given a fantastic oppurtunity to actually get some club racing in the North Island when they haven't had any for years, they'd be fucking stupid to toss the chance away

[coffeejunkie]

Ok so ive just read all this thread(got told help was needed).....

Your all gunna say yeh yeh what would i know but here it is anyway......

I help on grid for VMCC, I am a HUGE motard fan & was gutted to find them gone:blink: BUT i must say that replacing them with sidecars was an interesting idea,

I had abit to do with the rigs at Nats (manfield) & yes they are by far the most interesting bunch of people i have ever come across, Yes it's going to be an interesting time,:shifty:

Drew i must say the idea of you & trash having a rig is pricless.....This i have to see...

I can't see why people are getting so shit faced about it cuz isn't it more the fact that your out there doing your thing? Who cares what you do it on or in

So lets get the class to be full guys.....

[White trash]

I'm looking at a rig next weekend funnily enough and will be chatting and spending a bit of time with a few teams this weekend too.

All going well, the Mair brothers will be united putting our talents to greater use than banging skulls together arguing about who's better on two wheels.

All things going well, we wont end up with a reputation similar to the one we both share now :)

Good on VMCC for looking forward once again.

[White trash]

It shouldn't.

Just be aware of that glint in ya bro's eye when he eyes up that fence bro, being a Mair only means Drew will want to jump a higher one:woohoo:
I was thinking maybe a rig would be cheaper with the cost splitting thing too, and the giggle factor would be very cool..........................trouble is I don't have any friends:crybaby:

Tracey is having a serious think about sinking it into a classic instead.

Haha..............prob wouldn't even make the 1st turn with those thoughts:innocent: Although I prefer to be the groper not the gropee :o

Mmmm maybe thats why some teams don't make the grid..........the groping starts a little early out in the pits:love::yes:

[scrivy]

Everyone knows you dont use soap Andy, why you think we all stand three feet away when we're talkin to ya?

Cause you know that if you were any closer you wouldn't be able to control your urges and wanna jump me..........
