Sidecar Racing

[Kickaha]

Unlike you south island gimps that thought a sidecar with 10 mm of lead (the opposite of trail) handled pretty good.

It would have handled well enough to beat at least 3-4 other outfits at Ruapuna Nationals this year

There is no opposite to trail, you have either negative trail or positive trail

lead is something people bolt to their sidecars when they have lightweight swingers or alternatively when you're talking sidecars it's to do with how far the chair wheel wheel is front of the rear

Positive trail is just a hard way of saying lead. Its kind of like saying i am ten feet tall minus four.

Lead must be a term old people use, did you learn it from Neville?

[peril 787b]

No, really!! Does Danger Dave love us that much??!! Thats the only windle im interested in.

Shhhhh!!!!! you were supposed to keep quiet about that, he still thinks it's in my shed...

[swarfie]

Lead must be a term old people use, did you learn it from Neville?

Old...OLD...I'll show you lead....it'll come very fast and in a little pill form:motu::lol:

[skilly035]

Seriously, theres a hell of a lot of sense in jumping off a sidecar at the right moment, you just need to know when that moment arrives.

I'm so alert, I jump prematurely..before any sign of getting into danger!

HOLY!! - what a race, pink bike vs burt wolland and nev.. that was intense, what a finish! great dicing too, that was fantastic!

I was suprised how much drive pinky was getting out of the corners and how fast it was in a straight line.. Burt did not seem to pull away with more power/1000cc motor, maybe old burtie was taking it easy on Nev ;)

fantastic to watch though, that was great to watch online. Glad the livetiming followed that battle.

Also fantastic run by the Lawrances, a solid 2nd place and their best laptime was only .279 of a second slower than Lovell/Simonson.. A great run by the Lawrances, well done.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Bring on Barry Sheene, Wangas and NZ Nats 2014!

I was feeling pretty apprehensive about swinging on a modern chair but had already committed to doing the task with Burt after Maxine’s off at Hampton downs. The last time I had swung on a sidecar was at least fifteen years ago and that was on my Matchless, and had never swung on a modern so you can understand my nervousness. I took along my old leathers as they are a little more worn in if you know what I mean. The real reason being that if I came unstuck I wouldn’t rark up my new ones.
We headed out for the practice session with Burt taking it nice and easy for the first couple of laps but when the pace picked up I found a few places where I was leaving it too late to move and when we came in I already had a couple of bruises. Kee-rist these things are impressive compared to the Classic rigs I’m so used to. The brakes, grip, G-forces and power is bloody awesome…by Christ they take some hanging on to! We came in and put some tape around the main vertical handle as it was quite slippery and headed out for the qualifying session. Much better with me taking note of track markers to improve my cross-over’s although I did get over too soon for a fast right hander letting the side wheel come up and giving Burt an “Oh Shit” (not again!!) moment…sorry mate. Midsession I got my left foot stuck in under the left hand foot bar and it took the whole length of the main straight to get it out…needless to say I was SHITTING myself!!! We came in and made an aluminium plate to stop it happening again and we were all good to go.
First Race and Burt took off like scalded chook and late late late braking into turn one with me and most of our wheels on the inside grass, barging his way up the side of Grant and Mat (paint swapping) and coming out in third place…Holy Shit…What the feck have I let myself in for??!! He kept the thing nailed into the next few corners and Christ I was thinking I definitely can’t keep this up for another ten laps! Chris and Ritchie and Spike and Astrid came past and then we kept Grant at bay for a couple of laps before finally backing off for another 3 or 4 until Tracey and Jo caught up with us. Then it was back into it to provide the crowd with the best spectacle of the day with us swapping places several times a lap…bloody awesome!! We crossed the line 0.014 second in front of Pinky with only the transponder position in the fairing giving us 6th place. We came in absolutely fizzing and Burt said there was no way he was going to let my daughter beat me…but fark he didn’t have to make it that close!!!
That evening we all headed down to the Taupo Moto-X club rooms for a memorial gathering for Frank Lawrance. A really fitting send off for a top bloke, spreading his ashes at the track edge and culminating in a fish and chip feed (Frank’s favorite) and a tipple of his favorite sherry. RIP mate, you were a legend.
Early next morning we were awakened to Robby Shorter arriving at the track screaming out “Wake up motherfuckers!” to a back-drop of AC-DC blaring out of his van at 200 decibels…bastard (-:
At riders briefing we caught Chris Lawrance out with a chant of Happy Birthday and his wife Jan had a dozen muffins with candles lined up on his sidecar…Christ mate you’ve had ruff twelve years!
We headed out for the scrub in session with me feeling bloody sore from the day before but as soon as we got on the track adrenalin kicked in and we had an awesome mini race with Alex and Glen…in AJ’s words “the best three lap race he’d had since arriving in the North Island”. Race two saw not so hectic a first corner but the pace was just as hot for a lap or two and slowing slightly had AJ and Glen on our case and Pinky coming up as well. Swapping places a few times and really enjoying it again until we started running out of fuel around left handers…we…well Burts son Daniel actually…(but then Kai txt me to say it’s always the swingers fault) hadn’t topped up the tank after the scrub ‘race’ and the fuel was swilling away from the tank pick-up. It would chime back in to action as soon as we got out of the corner but left us in a lonely 8th place…Bugger!
We lined up for race three and Burt wanted me to stay off the back wheel so he could lay a strip on the start line. We started of laying a huge black strip and into turn one mid field pecking off those that had got past us on the line and into it for a couple of laps and then slowing slightly until AJ and Glen and Pinky were on our case and then it was all on again. Tracey and Jo were absolutely nailing it and we were swapping places several times a lap until on the last lap (and un-be-known to me, we’d had a broken clutch cable since lap two) Burt got his foot tangled up in the gear lever and accidentally down-changed while on full chat down the start straight. The over-rev had me cringing and then a few corners latter Burt let Pinky go by and we were looking to pass them on the outside around turn nine when there was a hell of a clatter as number 1 conrod punched its way out the front of the crankcase. Luckily we were able to pull straight off into the catch area between the two tracks so there was no oil left on the track. Oil was on fire in the catch tray and Burt managed to get out and lift the front of the fairing allowing a track marshal to extinguish the flames…Thanks Mate!
A real shame our weekend had to end with us getting a trailer ride and if I can help in any way with an engine re-build you have my number Burt. Thanks mate for an unforgettable experience… Will I be lining up for another dose of that?…you can count on it. The weekend ended with Tracey and Jo gaining 4NZ and if it hadn’t been for a DNF (due to a piece of wire flicking up off the track at Timaru and shorting a coil out) they would have been 3NZ. Doesn’t matter, my daughter and Tracey have made me so proud, thanks girls, awesome!!!!

Phil Sowersby used to run the number eight during the latter Marlboro series although it doesn't look like him and his outfit was front exit most of, if not all of it's life
Looks like a Marina outfit, there were only 33 of those made so that should narrow it down a bit!
when were those helmets first on the market?

haha I've got a better idea, I'll do your ACL surgery for free! I've watched a tutorial on youtube and pretty confident I can pull it off. But I would like to try on something else first, like you Nev, before I risk doing it on me pooch.


Yep i had sell my dirt bike for it :bye: the worst part was trying to get her to rest after the op as she was only 1.5 years old at the time so she was very active and being a Rottweiler shes not a little dog haha
I will have to sell some stuff yip! got rid of a spare sidecar wheel on trademe yesterday, $1... so I'm on my way..
My old pitbull is 10 years.. old but still very active, I usually run her 4-5 times a day (uni life) so yip, very hard to get her to lie down at the moment. Worried about blowing the other leg out too.


Yeah was a bit of a catch cause we done the first one then when she done her other leg we'd already spent the money on the first one so we thought we better do the other as well otherwise we've wasted the money from her first op haha

Vet called and suggested we try acupuncture.. I'm not sure if this vet clinic I'm using is quite right haha.. Can't see what acupuncture will do but hey - give it a couple goes.

Anyway - back to sidecar racing, got a magazine the other day called Motorcycle Racer.. must be a UK mag, had a wee spread on sidecar racing, apparently its getting bigger and bigger in the UK with the british airways f1 (world?) champs and the British Nat Champs increasing in numbers/entries, they are striking deals for even more TV broadcasting and coverage and apparently the TV people are very happy with the spectacle sidecar racing brings, so they are happy to do more coverage. Also with more and more teams joining up for the f1 champs the sport is really picking up over there and getting good coverage for the mainstream public. Radio/TV coverage plus all your internet coverage..

Would be good if NZ followed suit.. even if they just broadcast international sidecar racing on sky or something.. or local TV.. (prob unlikely, I see sky struggles to even get WBSK and MotoGP on the go this year?)

Motorsport on tv would be way better than The GC or the Ridges or whatever other gay reality shit they play on TV

weren't you supposed to be contestent on that but went to the Wong Foo King kitchen?

[scrivy]

weren't you supposed to be contestent on that but went to the Wong Foo King kitchen?

No, it was the Wong Kitchen he went to. Wong is the sponsor of the series.
Problem for Gordy was that he went down on Sum Yungchick, and his position there was then put into question.
He then accidentally met Cum Tooquik, and Goo inhand, who knew all about Gordy and his reputation. Chu Sumtwat and Tung Sumchick, confirmed that Gordy was indeed a sidecar deviate, that's used to Cho kon It. He was then fired from the series as he said he was gunna go get Fuk Yuman to sort it out.

So, in fact he was a contestant at the right kitchen.

Love the photo!can you see that it's a Suzuki? I can't an what's written on the bike doesn't always mean that's what's inside after all Johnny Blaymires didn't have an applecross motor in his machine...
Sowersby sold his outfit to Clyde Wilson from what I understand, then Clyde sold it to Ross Clark, then Ross Clark sold it to Jeff McClaren who put a Suzuki in it and then picked up Shaun Harris as a passenger along the way. He then tried to put a Centre Hub sterring front end in and it dissappeared.
My pick is Jeff McClaren with Andrew Piercy doing the swinging repowered with a Suzuki by the time this piccie was taken

What kind of boots do you use while riding your chair? i've read of some using sidecar specific boots, some using leather shoes and taping up the exposed areas and others using normal motocycle boots.

[Fast Eddie]

I use Warwicks old boots..

they are fuckn awesome.. a soft racing boot.

Before that I used chuck taylor ankle high sneakers and just taped up the shoe laces.. they went fine for both swinging and riding. But the soft race boots are the best for me.

Tried my SIDI solo bike race boots.. like skating around on ice as a swinger and riding with them was crap, no ankle movement and too big/bulky.

my 2 cents..

[Kickaha]

The bike was Duncan Robertsons.
Yeah I got that in the garage it has been there a little while, might even do more than look at it this year, got probably 85% of whats needed for it

Roger thinks this is probably John Thompson riding, with Darryl Dowman on the side. Apparently not a regular pairing, so this may have been a one of situation.
What do you think Spyda?
The passenger sure looks like Dowman, or possibly Neil Armstrong with a helmet like that.
I see a Road & Sport sticker, which is points for it being more from Hamilton than Wanganui though.

john and darryl rode together often, they would share the duties and do half a meeting as rider and half as swinger i always wondered what they could've acheived had they stuck to one or the other. they had black leathers and yellow leathers, john's were black from memory with black brain bucket and darryls yellow with 1000cc yamaha on the sleeve, odd as they never made a 1000cc yamaha in those days, he ran a white lid certainally not a bell which this appears to be, there number was 86 those days too.
ther outfit was front exit with an oil cooler on the front too, doesn't mean to say they didn't borrow a rig though.
my monies on jeff mcclaren and andrew peircy at this stage, somewhere i''ve a piccie of jeff with the gremlin on board that may confirm it's jeff or not, does the NZSRA have a historian?

yea just read about it in me book from my mate Dave..

sounds like the bikes were getting a bit dangerous in terms of build quality and strength with the old tired chassis being refitted with big heavy 4 stroke motors and then falling apart/breaking on the track and crashing.

I thought originally it was because the bikes were getting too fast, turns out everyone was just turning up on junk fitted with big heavy motors and crashing them

Thats exactly why the log book system was introduced in NZ.
I recall pointing out to one of the technical stewards that we had a bike amongst us originaly built with a 45hp air cooled '73 RD350 engine, which was now sporting a K4 Gixxer thou after seven repowers.
The history had been lost along the way & people just kept putting bigger & bigger motors in it.
Its still out there, but is fitted with an engine more suitable to the chassis.

WooHooo...its red:woohoo: I'll ride you swing...we'll get hurt together :facepalm::wacko:

We can take turns, whoever has the broken legs that week gets to sit in the wheelchair bit.


We've got a pitbike with a Sidecar on it, it's red.

Hurts everyone who rides it, so the CR sounds like a real good idea.

Fuck that, trying to ride a CR500 without some screaming ballast on the side is hard enough. They are good for rotary hoeing gardens though.



Gordies a bit skinny to swing.. better put some pebbles in his pocket

Just got home from a mildy successful chch mission. all 4 brake calipers from the Agip bike have been fully rebuilt/reconditioned.. even painted, new seals, greased up etc etc. 2 bleed nipples replaced as were leaking, 1 reconditioned master cyl and 1 brand new master cyl. brake pedal has new bearings, brake balance bar has new circlips, cleaned and greased and is finally operational - we can now shift the brake balance from front to rear! before it didn't do anything and was useless.Didn't manage to get out on the track as we had to get the bleed nipples done and buy a new master cyl today and it was 4.30 by the time we got that done.. and time to head back to dunners.. next weekend should be able to go out for a test session at puna.

but when i arrived home in dunedin I had a big box waiting for me.. from Mo Haley. In that box was full of sidecar stuff, mainly all Team Agip bike stuff, posters, clothing, books, news paper cuttings, more photos, memorabilia and more.. its so cool I don't think I can sleep. Gave me a big motivation boost to put time money and love into the bike and go all out to restore it to good if not mint condition.. talking frame up rebuild..

couple of snaps, he also included some setup notes, workshop manual for FZR motors with notes and stuff inside.. and heaps of wicked stuff, badges/patches, competitors cards n stuff for bathurst and championship events from days gone by.. very cool.. to me anyway..

couple of photos for anyone else interested!

have to find some frames and stuff to protect all this sweet stuff and hang it all up.. also a way to protect the shirts and clothing.. any ideas are welcome to protect all this nz sidecar racing history for a long time to come.. hate to see it deteriorate..

building up quite the collection for my bike, only thing missing now is the 2 alloy wheels that at some point were seperated from my bike.. i still have 1, the front, but missing side and rear.. just incase someone knows where they are and wishes to return them ;)

I tried to get hold of Dave, it seems that he has turned into a complete fuckin 'tard & wont speak to my mate Gary, because his wife left him (Gary that is) go figure
I stored all Daves household possesions for over six months in my barn for nothing, including loading it on & off the truck (old house) through the same mutual 3rd party I tried to get his number off, & he didnt have the common decency to even phone me then, or ever.
Apparently he's in Perth now, but I wouldnt waste my time on him. Clearly he's some kind of self centred asshole now, not the fun guy I once raced with, & I hope he sees this.

[Danger Dave]

Nah no frighting tales unfortunately haha, because it was only us and Aaron on the track i could just take my time and ease into it slowly picking up the pace as i found out how the chair reacted to different inputs.

Only minor stuff to sort, i'm not happy with the size of the knee cups as i'm not the smallest fellow around its a bit of a tight fit for my legs, we need to make an extra grab hole for the swinger and the biggest thing is to try and get it over the 65mm height as its at around 55mm but we can't see how to do it without fitting taller shocks but its been complyed with this set up before so i'm not sure what to do there, we didn't have any issues at puke which is a bumpy shithole and nothing touched or scraped.

[Kickaha]

we need to make an extra grab hole for the swinger Where? there should have been two sets of handles for the bit in the chair held in with r clips, swapping that might help?

but its been complyed with this set up before so i'm not sure what to do there,probably pump the tyres up to 40psi before it's checked

[Kickaha]

This is why they don't let me ride anymore, we fixed it before Gordy got it though

I only got the one that was in it, we need to cut a grab hole in the R/H side of the main fairing, we tried pumping the tyres up to 30 but it still wasn't near enough.

I prefer external handles to holes. You cant grab your hand around a hole like you can a handle & so can have your hand shaken off.
Plus theyre easier to find in a hurry.
Holes just stop your hand from blowing in the breeze, handles are for hanging on to, unless you put two holes side by side & glass a piece of alkathene inside & outside of the bit in between to grab around.

I think Vince is the one that knows how to make sidecars go fast. Team Agip & team Adam are proof of that, he's a real thinker.
Those Agip guys were quite organised & fairly serious for their time.
The stuff you have should stay with the outfit wherever it goes, it makes it that much more real.
The ex Scrivy, Pate outfit had the potential to be one of NZ's true historic short bikes too, until it was repowered.
Maybe someone could buy Gordys & Pate's outfits, swap the motors over & get things back how they should be.

most people who cut holes for handles don't do it properly either, they should be glassing in a bit of 1/2 inch or so piper in behind so you're actually able to grip something not just a thin bit of fiberglass with a sharpish edge, still not as good as a handle like Bob says where you can actaully grip all the way around and hang on to though

Yeah I remember the dickhead coming up to us after a race in 1990 at Wangas and complaining that I had cut him off...the plonker was trying to go round the outside of Graeme and I at the Berlin Wall and when the gap closed due to the Matchy using ALL of the road available he then cut our nose off over the bridge. I told him to "Fuck off...he was trying to go through a gap that was never going to be there." He slunk off with his tail between his legs...dork :weird::bleh:

[peril 787b]

The plan with Danger Dave's chair was to cut the hole and glass in a 1/2" pipe as suggested (already been thought about).
Is anyone able to provide pics of right hand side outer fairing grab handles so we (I) can fab something up before HAGD in 2 weeks?
I realise everyone's ideas of grab handles differ due to personal style, but it'd be good to have a few suggestions. Being a new team, I reckon it'd be easiest to make them get used to something that works rather than what we could come up with that might not.

Dont put them at full arm stretch, make it so the passengers elbow is quite bent, I could explain, but just take my word for it.
Some have three in a row, but better to have one, in the right place.

[Fast Eddie]

..Being a new team, I reckon it'd be easiest to make them get used to something that works rather than what we could come up with that might not.

the holes it already has should work :D

other than that each swinger is different.. I added and removed stuff when I was swinging until I was comfortable. and my current swinger insisted I added a new grip as he couldn't get comfortable with its original setup..

So I guess you will have to get on the bike and just have a think about where you want the grips to be to allow you to transition quickly and smoothly at speed with the gforces acting against or with you.

maybe sidecar bob or scrivy can chuck up photos of their outfit so you can see rough positions of where their hand holds are. seems to work for them at the front of the pack!

there should be pics of my bike somewhere in this thread.. it also has grab rails rather than holes cut into the fairing. (except for one on the right side, but there is a grab rail further up behind the riders butt)

[peril 787b]

the holes it already has should work :D
There is no hole on the outer right so leaving it as is is super easy :p

oh man, that's like 280 pages of dribble to look through. Guess I might have to do that after work, after I refit the inner right handle (if I can find where I put it) and make up the moulds for the new knee cups and mount the airbox properly and make up the temp sensor adaptor...
Looks like I'll be busy for the next two weeks...

[Fast Eddie]

couple photos of my bike.. as you can see there are just rails everywhere so you can pretty much throw out your hand and grab something - not very elegant.. but meh. its been like that since forever. We added an LCR or modern style upright bar in the passenger tray for my swinger - he loves it.. I swung on this bike and never felt the need for that tho - but everyones different. The right side does actually have a hole cut out of the fairing, there is also a grab rail behind the riders butt.. both work well especially when you are laid over the back wheel you sorta grip that hand hold with your fingers and squeeze your elbow in etc and grip with the whole side of your body as you lay over the rear. (if that makes sense)

added a photo of danger daves bike - note how the swinger is doing it.. maybe thats how its done? haha

here is a video of Dave's windle in action around Ruapuna.. maybe u can spot what the passenger is up to etc.. from 6.00 minutes on it tracks Daves windle and it zooms in to see the passenger going through some right and left handers.. looks like there was a bar/hand hold attached to the sidepod? but can't see much of the right side.. you can see on my bike there is just a hole cut in the fairing on the right side and it works well.

Something I learnt back when I did workoutty stuff, was that ya should never 'hang' fully extended when doing pull-ups/chin-ups. Bad for the joints.

Suppose it's something to do with that? Go over large unexpected bump/object on road/track, get dislocation...

Ya don't wanna go grabbing for the hold on the right when the riders got the welly right up it, and come up short. Or be hanging on for grim death at full extension when ya hop a curb or summat.

fuck, bit of a long ride home from there tho!

Its a transformer. It will turn into a suitcase & come as hand luggage. that was meant to be cryptic

[Erelyes]

Oh is this Pete? didn't click til now... haha.

must go for another ride when you are free, I'm always free when the weather is nice :D you need to sell your kids or something... might get enough money to start racing!

Ha yea! Keen as for another ride once the weather's not shit. If Anzac day turns out good I should be out for a potter. Racing - we'll see!


dunno bout weight lifting, the deadlift see's you lifting well over 100kg on full extended arms..

Maybe slack is a better term, or 'relaxed dead hang', what I meant is, if you are reaching for yon hole int' side ah 'yon outfit and yer arm's fully extended, the temptation is there to grip with hand and then relax shoulder (not good for the shoulder)... but appears I'm on the wrong track anyway :scratch:

And at the risk of turning this into a lifting thread, in a DL your traps / rhomboids / shoulders etc are all engaged... if you consciously tried to DL without engaging your shoulders you'd probably fuck em!

It didnt piss oil all over the track & get the meeting cancelled in first practice either, so im picking its not actually a Norton. Backstory, thats what Hoodie managed to do last Sunday at Taupo, & flat out denied it was him while dripping wet with oil.

Couple photos there of the Mo Built Team Agip bike at Bathurst and also one of it at P.I. when it raced at the Ozzy round of World Champ Grand Prix alongside the men on 500cc 2t GP bikes. Ash Martin said.. "I did hear a story that Dave fluffed the race start because he had missed riders briefing & the start procedure... because he was watching Rainey & co practice on their 500's instead"

No worries, I'll write the progarms in the company time next week...where should I deliver them :niceone:

On the Saturday we got two practice sessions and one race (which Jo and I won after a great battle with Jason Rees and Bryce Rose:wings:) all of which Hoodie and Mark did not finish due to oil all over their rig. Sunday Jo and I won the first race and then the meeting was called due to oil ALL around the track. Felt really sorry for the NZPCRA fellas and fellesses as they didn't even get on the track:no:

[Kornholio]

That site is worth a look, works pretty much like trademe. The $ shown under the yen price is $US.
If you see anything you want I have an agent up there that was a Tauranga bloke, & a total good bastard.
If anything, it will make you realise how cheap stuff is here.
Of course if the purchase is over $NZ400 it will attract customs duty of 15%
