I went to see the buckets race at Kaitoke yesterday. Damn fine spectacle. I recommend all other bikers support these guys (turn up - it's free and buy some food - there's a good biker).

Anyway... Back to the relevance of the OP's question. Kaitoke is a karting track for those who've never been. A small track suitable for both karts and buckets... but that's not important right now.

What is important, is a sidecar came out, by itself (with rider and swinger of course) and practised on the track over lunch.

Maybe you have a bucket / small / kart friendly track up there and can work in some practice?

In the old days, I used to take my kart down to supermarket carparks and lay out old pieces of carpet for apexes etc.... 7x7 shopping killed that. I was aspiring to be the National Midget champion. Problem was I was fat, it made the kart slow and I had a handicap at the start of each race.

May you swing freely and safely.

I went to see the buckets race at Kaitoke yesterday. Damn fine spectacle. I recommend all other bikers support these guys (turn up - it's free and buy some food - there's a good biker).There is a surprisingly large amount of bike-related motorsport with free entry. Even just a wander around during a trackday is quite interesting. The minimoto lads put on an interesting day too.

That's the one my friend - the little orange GSXR1100. It's name is Fire Crotch!

[sidecar bob]

That's the one my friend - the little orange GSXR1100. It's name is Fire Crotch!

Yay, Go fire crotch!!
Now you do know it needs a special oil additive dont you.
Sidecars suffer from oil surge because they lean the wrong way. The additive stops it lunching itself when this happens.

[prettybillie]

Yes my dear - I've been told to talk to you about that. Can you PM me the details so I can get some off you????

true that, which is why my wee little friend is on the case sorting me some time with some fella.....i was just after some pre-knowledge so I didn't turn up like a complete noob...I asked does this ride come with a 10 minute tutorial and her answer was "nah, you just jump on and hang on for dear life"

[Kickaha]

Yes my dear - I've been told to talk to you about that. Can you PM me the details so I can get some off you????

I'd be very wary of getting any "special additive" off sidecar bob


Oh that one wont leak, it was rebuilt by a proper mechanic!

Did you farm that one out then?


.I asked does this ride come with a 10 tutorial and her answer was "nah, you just jump on and hang on for dear life"

[prettybillie]

As per my other post - we want to take our chair out at Puke on Saturday. Does anyone have a trailer I can borrow that it would fit on?

[old rig]
