Sidecar Racing

[scrivy]

... but fast guys are normally fast on anything they ride

I last more than 2 minutes...... does that make me slow???
(Oh yay, here comes Gordy.... now were talking....shit..)

[scrivy]

Hows your new Windle Gordy??

[Kickaha]

How do we know if there's fast guys in NZ?:confused:

Compared to what? compared to the Uk and Europe there aren't

[scrivy]

Whabout Aussie?

There's some pretty fast guys in Jamaica too.... Imagine them on a sidecar....
Cool runnings...... on the seal...

[Kickaha]

Whabout Aussie?

Hard to say you've raced there so you would know more than me but I would have said the top guys there are faster than the guys here, but then you look at the Oz crews who've tried the Worlds and they get lapped

It's pretty hard to compare anyway when everyone is on different bikes, I think we need a control class with everyone running LCRs to settle this

[scrivy]

I disagree. We went out in a few laps and beat most of the field on their home track. Lawrances were right up their too on a low output engine. Also in '98 Westie and Glen Murray got 3rds at Phillip Island against 22 aussie teams.

It's pretty hard to compare anyway when everyone is on different bikes, I think we need a control class with everyone running shorties to settle this
I couldn't agree more!

[scrivy]

but then you look at the Oz crews who've tried the Worlds and they get lapped


The biggest detriment to going fast is peoples intellect.
I laugh my ass off when I hear people say a certain track is technical. FFS!!! Driving to work has more corners than a racetrack - do we bum out driving to work?

[Kickaha]

Drivng to work you're normally not trying to go as fast as you possibly can

Some people do have a tendency to overthink things but studying a track and working out how to ride it can give you quite quite a difference in your lap times

Sure does.

[nodrog]

Hows your new Windle Gordy??

did you deliver here or to work?

[nodrog]

Sweet rig, you're off to a good start as that would be better than 50% of the sidecars in NZ

http://www.flyingmile.co.nz/ invite only two F1 sidecars entered, I know one's Lovell whose the other one?

whos handing out these invites??

[Kickaha]

whos handing out these invites??

Fuck knows, but if you didn't get one you're obviously not invited, you might have to suck some more cock to get one

[nodrog]

No, it's a long bike thing.......... :shifty:

Hi all, so i've just brought the windle out of christchurch (sorry Nodrog) and will be picking it up on Feb 17, Do you think its a bit stupid thinking my first ride on a sidecar should be the Hampton nationals (and the test day beforehand)? or should i try and attend some test days and not race untill next season, might seem a silly question but i'm keen to ride it but don't want to piss everyone else off by getting in the way while i learn

[Fast Eddie]

you couldn't be slower than me, and people don't seem to get too pissed off :) just have your passenger tap you on the shoulder when someones behind you and move off the racing line.

Go for it, need bikes on the grid and better than doing a street race as a first outing :D Do a test day before plus the practice day and do as many laps as you can you should get comfortable, I think.

Good shit, good to see someone finally bought the outfit, it has been on trademe for far too long. Pics when you get it!

god damn it Drew, you better not come to the track dressed like that. Sidecars get a hard enough time already..

Thats great news, its an excellent chassis.
It would be stupid to do Wanganui or Paeroa as a first meeting, but Hampton Downs is perfect.
My suggestion.
I would take a different angle to Kai on lines. Hold your line like you own the track & let the overtaker work out how to get past you, it creates less stress for all parties & you will never get a hard time for it, predictability is the key.
I would also suggest that unless you & your passenger have mental telepathy, dont let him signal anyone past on one side or the other, that can end very poorly, as we saw at Hampton a few months back.

Good shit Dave!
Bob and I raced for the first time at Pukekohe - the first round of the Nationals back in 87. Started off the back row, and came 4th! Never raced one before, never raced at Puke before. Up against some nice gear and good teams.
So you should be able to get up to speed on it by the end of the first day. I wouldn't worry too much. There's no 115% cutoff in sidecars. As long as you hold your lines, no-ones gunna collect you.

Have fun!

[Kickaha]

Hi all, so i've just brought the windle out of christchurch (sorry Nodrog) and will be picking it up on Feb 17 So you got the trailer as well? give us a yell when you're down maybe a few of us can hook up

I wouldn't say stupid but I think you're better off waiting, would you do the same if you'd bought a Superbike with no previous experince riding one?

If you could get a couple of test days in at HD or Puke beforehand then sure thing

[sidecar bob]

Dave, do you have a passenger lined up? its always better if one member of the team has prior expierence, having said that, scrivy & I were equally green first time out, but we have learned a bit since then.
I would suggest lashing Jay Lawrence to the side of it, although while the wheel will definitely stay down, his mere presence may cause it to enter corners in a massive sideways drift.

He'd have to pull in each lap for a pie stop

You'd know all about that.

[Kickaha]

Only 9 Superbikes racing at Teretonga is it time we got rid of that class?

[Kickaha]

You'd know all about that.

Piss off I haven't had a pie in hours, just got back from a 1 3/4 hr MTB ride up to the top of the Port Hills and back

[sidecar bob]

Yeah, its amusing that we needed fifteen chairs at Wanganui.
Im hugely positive about the future of sidecar racing.

I thought the same about lines i've always thought its better to hold line and let the quicker guys find they own way around.


Good shit, good to see someone finally bought the outfit, it has been on trademe for far too long. Pics when you get it!

Will do


So you got the trailer as well? give us a yell when you're down maybe a few of us can hook up

I do have a passenger lined and we are both novices however i figure you have learn some where and when we do race we'll be against you guys no matter where we are so we might as well get used to it.

I've tried to talk Jay into sitting on the side but he's not keen, he's happy to ride it but thats all haha.

[scrivy]

Im hugely positive about the future of sidecar racing.

Chur to that!

How many rigs have been brought this past year?

Aaron Lovell,
Robbie Shorter,
Rob Edwards,
Barry Fane,
Des,
Spike,
Drew,
Gordy,
Harris,
Bruce Sparks,
Kai,
Farm Boys.

Any more?
Im hugely positive about the future of sidecar racing too!

Time to get rid of 3 rounds down south.....

[Kickaha]

Geezuz!! Most people do it in 3/4 of an hour...... you fat tired bistard......
I'll find you a bike next time you're down and we'll see

I've tried to talk Jay into sitting on the side but he's not keen
what a fucking limp dick, him and Goober should hook up together they're both as a gay as each other

[Kickaha]

Time to get rid of 3 rounds down south.....

I was about to suggest as the sidecar numbers are coming up we do three down south next year

I'd rather do Teretonga then levels, love that Turn 1

I think the numbers are coming up due to not many people spending so much money to win things - but rather have fun.
There's more fun being had now, at a lower expense.

fair enough, Phil and I had positive feedback from spike/and the fast bikes for getting the fuck out of the way at puna, So I suggested it.. but phils been around puna heaps so he could spend his time looking behind us watching for lappers..

wash your mouth out..

[Kickaha]

Dont bother, it's up to them to find a way past, holding your line causes less problems than trying to get out of the way

[Fast Eddie]

true true, not that we were changing direction or line suddenly, just moving off the main race line so no one had to drop their pace. anyway - in future will just be a mobile chicane ;) can't be worse than trying to get past harris when he's going for 1st place

[nodrog]

Stink, I quit!

[Kickaha]

Stink, I quit!
May as well you were fucking crap anyway

[scrivy]

Stink, I quit!

You hadn't even started!!!! Ya big foof!!

We still loves ya Gordy...... Stick in there little buddy, we're all rooting for ya!!

[Kickaha]

Stick in there little buddy, we're all for rooting ya!!

Always thought you were a homo,you just confirmed it

[Fast Eddie]

Stick it in there little buddy, we're all rooting ya!!

are we? haha

[Fast Eddie]

oh, by the way - thanks to all the North Islanders for coming down South for the Nats, was awesome seeing a decent size field on the grid at levels and 'puna :D

Cheers for the laughs and beers and BBQ action, and the good times.

If anyone can be bothered, we have plenty of racing over winter so feel free to ship your bike down - we can help store bikes etc and help with transport and such. King of Levels and King of Ruapuna..

Sarah will make you cookies!!

[sidecar bob]

This is a dead serious question. I wonder if someone could tell me if it is a requirment while passengering a sidecar, to hang on with your hands.
If for example, someone perfected the ability of say hanging on with their asshole, would that be against any MNZ rule?

bahaha.. I flicked through the rules.. couldn't see anything - but you are not allowed to be tied to or tethered to the bike..

so yes, strategically placing dildos at various points on the outfit and then sitting on them will be fine, Bob..

Well that is Uber Chur then!! I dont merely rely on my hands to hold me on, & occasionally I find them to be superflous to the job in hand. I just didnt want to be breaking any rules in the process.
I personally think that people holding the same handle with both hands & people not hooking their toes under the deck to be far greater idiots than those that wave with both hands.

You should have been going wider before you turned in for the hairpin

The book doesn't say solo riders must keep both hands on the bars either - but it's something Stewards are told to watch for...and issue reprimands if they see one handed riding.

Now that there's gonna be a group of newbies out there, and Kai is just slow, we'll be needing that rear tyre after all Scrivy.

On a serious note, I think a 9.5 inch tyre on the chair wheel is too wide and not gonna get up to temp. Should we be looking to replace it with a front size or stick with the wide one.

Nothing to do with any of that, but if you're passing up the inside or defending a line you're generally not taking one that will give you max corner speed anyway

[Drew]

Nothing to do with any of that, but if you're passing up the inside or defending a line you're generally not taking one that will give you max corner speed anywayWith the banking on the hairpin at Manfield, a tight line in is not detrimental to lap times unless someone steals your exit line by going around the long way.

With his awesomeness as a passenger, he could do it blindfolded.......er..... um.... nah, maybe not...... could that even work???
I reckon he should sit backwards........ reverse swing!! Now that'll be cool.......
Or he should just plank the entire lap....... Be fun around left handers.....

Planking is soooo 2011...

When we used to race in combined grids with the moderns we quite often smoked them off the line..dunno why, as we have WAY less power and rubber but it was more often the case than not !!! :nya:

how much do your matchless or bobs beemer weigh?

[swarfie]

how much do your matchless or bobs beemer weigh?


Don't know what the Beemer is but definitely heavier than the Matchless. We weighed the Matchy in 2000 @ Eastern Creek and I think it was 211kg after a race, so with 1/4 tank of methanol. Getting alziemers (old bastard:rolleyes:) so can't be too sure. Must get the scales out and check it sometime cause I've been asked that recently. That said it would be lighter than in 2000 anyway as its had a few more bits made out of ali instead of steel...mostly panel work.

200 odd kg on methanol and skinny tyres sounds like fun!

OEM ones are piss weak....... as you all know....... :weep:The problem is the forks? I've had problems with gear dogs on the RF, and some Kawasakis. Would be a good idea to check those if you have the casings apart.

If it is an issue, there's a guy down here who spark erodes a back cut matched surface on to them. He's really good, and stupidly cheap.

Precision grinding surfaces them well, but it can fuck up the hardening I was told, so they fuck out again really quickly.

Spark eroding is no different to grinding as far as the hardening is concerned. You can stuff them up just the same, it all depends how worn they are and how much you take off the case hardening. If you go through the case they will wear faster no matter how you machine them.:weep:

Yeah I found that site today, but they dont have H/D forks. I think new shafts are also the go, as back in January last year (12 months ago) we put in all 3 new forks. Did Eastern Creek all mint, truck meet all mint, then HAGD - appeared mint....... then Hampster Downwards... and we all know what was wrong there - not going down. But come Wangas, it wouldn't go up!!! WTF??? New shafts and selectors are definitely the go. Will have to check the drum also, and even the drum rotator fork.

Can't get any worse........:weep::oi-grr:

[Kickaha]

Dave only fitted the shafts, once you do that apparently it's the end of the problem as the shaft distorting is what roots the selector forks, he did had the forks reground and hardened

I got a better idea...howzabout you guys send me your disks and I'll grind them PROPERLY!!...and nice and true like I did with Kai's front rotor, that way you won't have to do a trackside de-glaze like Bob did that day (altho it was pretty neat) and come in for some flak from all your "MATES" on KB:laugh::facepalm:

Because I don't like paying for things to be done.

I just wanna couple vent lines cut into the surface for gas to escape. I thought it would he simple enough with a die grinder.

Fair enough, I do most stuff for myself as well. Make sure you cut the slots one at a time on each side and 180 degrees apart so you don't distort the disk...if you can understand my meaning. A little bit at a time should'nt distort the disc...sneak up on the bugger is what I'm trying to say.

Cheers mate. I get what ya mean.

Grind one slot, turn disk over. Repeat, rotate disk... And so on and so fourth. Four shallow cuts will be ample I think. Per side like.

hehe... the front disk has a bit of run out you'll be un-happy to know, Nev. Think it may have happened after you skimmed it down though as one caliper was dragging and super heating the disc.. I rode all Wangas and a few laps of Puna like that before we clicked onto it and removed the offending caliper. May have warped it again by over heating. Its still thick enough, maybe another skim down to try get it straight..

Got other things to work on first..

She'll be right

Am a bit unhappy about that. I put a dial indicator on it in the front wheel and it was only running out 0.04mm (1 1/2 thou") so I thought that pretty good considering it was bent about 1.5mm after the crash at Hampers. I think you'll find that becauase I've ground the high spots off each side that means its an uneven wall thickness between the outside and the ventalation slots now..thats why it has probably warped again. Sorry Kai but you may need to ditch it for a new one or at least one that hasn't been bent. :facepalm:

bummer, sorry! yea its a visible runout now, don't even need to put a dial on it. probably back to a 1mm or so.

I wonder what the disc is..

Maybe he will put a return address on the stuff Agip Bike stuff he said he would try to send me.. Hope he does, looking forward to any old stuff from the bikes glory days.

Cool - gave him a list of my calipers and master cylinders for a full over haul/re-kit. He said "You couldn't have given me a list of worse stuff"

Quick update, Jay qualified my pre '82 GSX 1166 in 3rd spot out of 111 entries. Unfortunately it must have had a slight carb blockage on one cyl, as it ran lean & melted a hole in a piston, so not a major drama really.
He is now on Pete Smiths pre 89 GSXR1100 & also qualified that in 3rd behind two RC 30's on his first attempt on the bike.
I suspect the end result today will be Chur as!!!

Further update, Jay won the pre '89 event (both races) at the Island Classic, Phillip Isl today on a bike he hadnt touched until he rode it in qualifying.
What can one say but awesome talent.

Graeme Harris got his new bike, the ex chivas rear engined shorty. Apparently pretty short at only 1820mm wheelbase - have to measure the agip bike or something to compare..

He recons its really rough and he's going to spend a lot of time on it tidying it up and setting it up, ironing out bugs and so on, so he feels comfortable to ride it. So not sure when we will see it on the track. Hopefully King of Levels.

yea he flicked the long bike off pretty quickly to a mate of his.. bike+trailer so I'm guessing harris must have made a couple extra dollars on the side for his troubles.
new owner should be putting it on the grid down here with us at next club day. apparently it needs some repairs after the test ride haha..

URGENT, POTENTIAL BRAKE PROBLEMS
If anyone who is racing at Paeroa is running two brake master cylinders operated by a single pedal please contact Ian Staples asap.

He will be at Paeroa checking these for correct operation but you will need to check them and make any changes before.
Please contact me and I will explain the set up.

Ian Staples

irstaples@clear.net.nz

I guess even if not going to Paeroa it will pay to look at the brake setup and ensure it is operating as expected..

Will photo/pull ours apart and then see whats up with ours - we think its the right setup as when I lost one master cylinder (siezed up) the other one still operated.. was just a bit harder to stop!

[jellywrestler]

Will photo/pull ours apart and then see whats up with ours - we think its the right setup as when I lost one master cylinder (siezed up) the other one still operated.. was just a bit harder to stop! this check is a result of Scrivy and Bob's Wanganui dramas which may be different.
they had total failure of one of their lines which would've produced no back pressure on that master cylinder, if yours had seized it to my thinking would've had back pressure so the bias would've then moved to the other cylinder so maybe you want to have a lookseee again and see whether it would work in their situation

Yip, fair point. Will be looking at mine.

My master cyl had siezed at the bottom of its travel.. so kind of like all the fluid going?

Anyway, agip bikes setup is a bit tired and worn so will be looking at it among other things. Head up to ChCh work on it for a good few days next week.

[nodrog]

The setup i have allows for total failiure of either masteer cylinder and the brakes.still work. The balance bar has a fixed centre pivot point, so either master cylinder could fall off and i would still have a fulcrum for the bar to pivot on.

So whos keen to be a passenger for a novice at the national rounds at hampton and taupo including the fridays before hand?

My swinger that will normally be on doesn't want to fork out for a race licence to compete in 2 rounds so need to find someone else to jump on, would prefer someone with experince as i have no idea what i'm doing haha

[sidecar bob]

Our brakes did exactly what they were designed to do in the event of one line failing, not work altogether. There were no further faults in the system & basically, it was like one kid jumping off the see saw when he is at the bottom, the other one goes straight to the floor.
The suggested fix needs to be worked through a little more thoroughly & Nev I & others are working on what is the best solution.
Im all for something being done, as long as its the right thing & well thought out.
Gotta take your hat of to Ian, he is seriously into our safety.

Our bias adjuster is being fitted with a limit plate, to stop it piloting around so far that the other master still has pressure no matter what.

We've also read the rule to mean, the backup brake has to work completely independent, and fitted a real serious hand operated front brake. Brembo for the win!

I didn't think that rule was around anymore.. most bikes don't have a back up brake.

Agip bike has a 4 pot caliper and chunky AP master cyl running the hand brake.. Althought we took it off. Must re-fit them.. When it works it should be able to lock the front up pretty easy. Hopefully it was the brake dragging that was causing the fluid to boil and lack of pressure for the hand brake.
