Sidecar Racing

[jellywrestler]

Plan to race with you guys at Cemetery Circuit Boxing Day - Will chuck my entry in when there are 14 others to join me!


If everyone sits back and waits for the others; it won't happen, get your entry in first would be the go...

[sidecar bob]

Is there ever a time when youre not a deviant?

[scrivy]

Is there ever a time when youre not a deviant?

Well you keep following me around all the time........ Everywhere I go, you're there too..... :yes:

[scrivy]

Is there ever a time when youre not a deviant?

........and you're not????.........:yes::woohoo:

[imdying]

Well, lasted a single lap before arm pump nearly killed me... holy crap it was fun though!!! Definitely want another go... now I know to lax up during the straight bits, hopefully I'll make two laps next time!

Chur Eddie, was freakin awesome! :Punk::Punk:

[Kickaha]

Well, lasted a single lap before arm pump nearly killed me...

Chur Eddie, was freakin awesome! :Punk::Punk:

One lap!! has it got a 7 second 1500cc nitromethane dragbike motor in it?

[Kickaha]

One lap!! has it got a 7 second 1500cc nitromethane dragbike motor in it?

You mean there's another motor like yours out there?

[imdying]

Heh, a faster one wouldn't have made a difference... holding on for grim death was the problem... I suspect brand new gloves were probably a really bad idea too :facepalm:

Yet, setting myself up to fail or not, it was still awesome!

[Kickaha]

holding on for grim death was the problem..
There would be very few people who don't hold on to tight first time out

I suspect brand new gloves were probably a really bad idea too :facepalm:
If they're quite a tight fit then yes

It takes a little bit before you're comfortable enough to relax or only use one hand or what ever else to have a break down the straights

[nodrog]

We said we'd help out any mainlander any way we could..........
Gordie - God love 'em, offered up his bed for ya eddie! What a trooper!

Me and Sidecar Bob will bring the popcorn and the video cameras.......... :shifty::pinch:

You will get some sleep though - Bob reckons Gordies over in a flash......

FFS Andrew, stop frightening the mainlanders, it makes them all tense, and a tense sphincter is no help.


...... I suspect brand new gloves were probably a really bad idea too :facepalm:!

I suspect your new skirt may have been a factor too.

[Fast Eddie]

Yes, thats a bit naughty. Come on Eddie, lead by example mate.
Get in first.
yea thats fair enough, will get onto it asap i promise. just finishing paint job n maintenance.


If everyone sits back and waits for the others; it won't happen, get your entry in first would be the go... yep thats true, ill get mine in.


We said we'd help out any mainlander any way we could..........
Gordie - God love 'em, offered up his bed for ya eddie! What a trooper!

[Fast Eddie]

Chur Eddie, was freakin awesome! :Punk::Punk:

No worries man any time at all! will let you know next test session.. see when the bike heads north might squeeze another one in next week or week after.

You did bloody well today, moving round proper.

natural! I didn't go as slow as I promised haha, prob didnt help.. but you did really well and were moving quick and good so i just picked up the pace a bit. gets tiring though eh! good on ya for getting on a rather dodgy looking old bike with an even dodgier looking dude ;) hahah


:lol: next time we'll put you out on something fast now you're fully experienced

haha, i bet the lcr is an easier ride than trying to hang on to something im riding ;)

[Fast Eddie]

mint day today at ruapuna, imdying came and gave it a bloody good effort, onearmedbandit came for a look too :) he'll be temptd for a go sooner or later i recon
swinger n i started working together a bit more and got round the track ok.. still bit slow but getting there, see what our lap times are like on sunday.

meaaan weather, bike is running mint, new gear shifter is sweeeet, and only missed one or two gears, will fine tune the selector n get the slop/play out of it and that might be us sorted.

new handle for swinger seems to be a success he was happy as.

bit quick on the hairpin a couple times and had to bail on the attempts and head for grass.. dunno why those tyres are right there at the exit.. hard to avoid em but i managed.

had another moment when the back let go during a right handr, full opposite lock and then it just snapped back by itself.. better than a spin n crash. dunno what happened swinger said i might have clipped the rumblestrip/curb with the back wheel.

looking forward to race day on sat!!!! yee ha

[Kickaha]

You planning on having a race all by yourself?

What corner?

[scrivy]

.. I suspect brand new gloves were probably a really bad idea too :facepalm:


You could borrow Sidecar Bobs gloves................ He can hang onto anything............. Nothing fazes him!
Mind you, I wouldn't want to sniff your hands after you've removed them from his gloves..... :puke: :shifty:

[scrivy]

What corner?

You familiar with Ruapuna Kick?? :love:

[Kickaha]

You could borrow Sidecar Bobs gloves................ He can hang onto anything............. :
That's the velcro he's got on the palms of them, not sure what the bits of wool stuck to the velcro are about though

You familiar with Ruapuna Kick?? :love:
Saw it on google maps

[scrivy]

FFS Andrew, stop frightening the mainlanders, it makes them all tense, and a tense sphincter is no help.

I'll give Eddie some pepper then............

I suspect your new skirt may have been a factor too.

I am sooooo looking forward to watching you and Eddie swap paint at Hampster Downs............... :woohoo:
I might sit out the races just to watch it........ :yes:

Actually, I might let Bob ride, and I'll sit backwards to watch it.......... Not 'cause Bobs slow at riding, but 'cause I'm so good at passengering......:shifty:

[Kickaha]

but 'cause I'm so good at passengering......:shifty:
Fucking near the funniest bit of fiction I have read this decade:laugh:

BREAKING NEWS - HAMPTON DOWNS RESOURCE CONSENT APPROVED

Bob tells me I'm better than you.................... I didn't know you were that bad...... :innocent::yes:

Mate, even if we were running on 1, with me passengering, we'd still be in front of ya.... :woohoo: pee hee hee.....


Well thats a fuckin relief, Ill tweet all my fans that its ok to come now.

They heard that the Freak Show will be there................ :sunny:

[Fast Eddie]

You planning on having a race all by yourself?

Racing is on Sunday you dick


haha, works with sex. yea shit sunday - you'll admit its normally on a saturday wont ya!



What were you doing and what happened?

entered corner feeling good, got half way around and then front just started understeering/pushing straight.. so would end up pointing toward the tyres at the exit and couldnt get it to tighten up or get the back loose to make the corner so just straightened up went onto grass, around tyres and then back onto track. did it twice. phil recons i was going too quick but thats not possible lol.. i thought he had fallen off or had his weight in the wrong spot which upset the bike (always swingers fault)


What corner?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Powerbuilt_Raceway_at_Ruapuna_Park_(longest_l ayout).svg



according to that map, the crown lifts carousel corner.


That's the velcro he's got on the palms of them, not sure what the bits of wool stuck to the velcro are about though


haha

[Kickaha]

Bob tells me I'm better than you.................... I didn't know you were that bad.....

Fuck, that makes me the worst swinger in the Southern hemisphere then



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Powerbuilt_Raceway_at_Ruapuna_Park_(longest_l ayout).svg


Alex amd me spun that chair on that corner one day out playing, didn't bother me but I think the Formula ford driver chasing us shit his pants

[sidecar bob]

Turns out the front brake rotor on Gordys outfit is from a Mitsubishi Chariot. It has two 4 pot JFZ calipers acting on it.
I thought that was kind of amusing.
Fortunately my mate Mike at Repco has plenty avaliable.

[Kickaha]

It has two 4 pot JFZ calipers acting on it.
I could never work out why it was set up like that

[scrivy]

Good enough for a people mover, good enough for Gordy. He can rest assured when he takes the neighbours kids to school........... Safe as houses..............
:Punk:

[scrivy]

It has two 4 pot JFZ calipers acting on it.

Fark!! With the 10 year old tyres he has on it, it'll be squealing like a pig..............

Sort of like the sounds that'll be coming from his van at Hampster Downs.................. :gob:

[sidecar bob]

I could never work out why it was set up like that

I still cant.
Gordy has been a bit quiet about it, but im going to tell you, the guy has done amazing things with the outfit & people wont recognise it. Definitely a contender for best presented in the future im sure.

hahaha, we will prob cock it up again.. i mean i will haha. ornsby and a couple other bikes were behind us, passed us after the moment then they all slowed turned around n watched us for a bit. think they were hoping we would give it another go haha.. or just wondering what these w@nkers were up to

[Fast Eddie]

Sort of like the sounds that'll be coming from his van at Hampster Downs.................. :gob:

RRREEEeeeeeeeeee

[Fast Eddie]

trying to find a fella i met at track today, thought he said his KB username was grumpf? i cant rember his name.. something thompson maybe? (prob not)

had an old gs1000 on the track, knew heaps bout my fzr engine, really want to get in touch with him n make him a contact :)

was bit busy today out on track and he left early just after we arrived but we had a quick yarn.

this was in chcn obviously, i recon hes a local

[scrivy]

Definitely a contender for best presented in the future im sure.

I'll have to touch up the old red/black paint then...........


Im not allowed near school children anymore.

Thank god for that! I'll leave me kids at home when I go to Hampster then!

[scrivy]

hahaha, we will prob cock it up again.. i mean i will haha.

Dude, always blame ya swinger!! Most people think they're plonkers or barking mad anyway. So it sort of makes for a great excuse!
Bloody passenger in the wrong place - again.......
Wasn't fast enough.....
Wasn't in the right place....
Wasn't looking..........
Too hung over.....
Too unco...... (Like Kick)
Perving at the chicks....
Missed a hand hold.....
etc etc........

Makes us riders look fucken good!

[nodrog]

RRREEEeeeeeeeeee

aww stink, i thought you were a virgin.


oh and on another note, i think I have finally figured out that my sidecar is some sort of retarded Ireson clone.

[scrivy]

oh and on another note, i think I have finally figured out that my sidecar is some sort of retarded Ireson clone.

.....and what have you figured out about yourself???? Gotta be a retarded something, especially if you want to race sidecars! :eek5:

Anyway, get back out into the shed to get your outfit sorted for Hamster Downs Syndrome! :yes:

[Henk]

Beginning to wish somebody had told me about the compulsory anal sex before we decided to borrow Cris's spare rig.

[Fast Eddie]

Dude, always blame ya swinger!!

Cool, it was long overdue and if we weren't such slack useless cunts we probably would have done it ages ago

Grumph = Greg Thompson, grumpy old cunt who lives in a cave out Darfield way :whistle: you can pm him on this site

I was told it was built by Murray Gorge or someone similar whose known for building stockcars off plans someone paid a fortune for out of the UK

You'll keep Dummocks...the only accurate thing you've ever posted is the bit about cheese has no place in pies.....

nice to see the old girl out and apparently running well. Maybe I'm too old and cynical but it was really surprising to see a SI sidecar pilot still happy and full of optimisim about the class....that's rare.

[Kickaha]

We'll soon beat that out of him:bash:

[scrivy]

That's why us up North are doing our bit to get him up here! We need motivated people in our sport!
Oh, and the same deal goes for any other SI sidecar crews too.

You won't get a better chance to race on a different track.

[Fast Eddie]

cheers mate, yea shes running mint. today, day after track sesh and going over bike.. i pulled clutch lever in and it was too easy, and didnt actually disengage clutch - no fluid in there! dunno whats happened hope i can just refill and should be sweet :)



Oh, and the same deal goes for any other SI sidecar crews too.

im tryin to get more, cant seem to tickle them the right way to get em to cum!

hehe but yea slackers, waters with the long windle said hes just focusing on nationals, wont come up before then. i asked him to do street races too but recond be too hard on the windle on the street. harris is out of action at the mo, recoverin from hospital visit, same with annan, but hopin he comes to cem circuit, AJ just doesnt feel like doing the trip. and pig n goober, havent heard from them. they should be at track this sunday (better be!) so ill twist some nipples then

[jellywrestler]

Heh, a faster one wouldn't have made a difference... holding on for grim death was the problem... I suspect brand new gloves were probably a really bad idea too :facepalm:

Yet, setting myself up to fail or not, it was still awesome!I suspect no-one gave you any pointers before you had a shot, next time get someone in the know to show you around an outfit first

[imdying]

The boys gave me a couple, but all I could remember was left foot goes flat against the wheel well when you're handing off the right and hold on tight :laugh: Could not remember anything about hanging off the left :facepalm:

Oh and something about don't cross your feet up or you're fucked. And something about don't get your foot stuck down the left cause then you're fucked. And don't fall off the back cause then you're fucked. And it doesn't steer if you're in the wrong pace and then we're both fucked.

In hindsight it seems logical that if I used my body against the body shell, that would take my weight during braking, rather than relying on the death grip... find out next time I guess :confused:

Top fun though :yes:

[scrivy]

Kiwifruit broke some ribs a few years back on mine at the Have a go day for not leaning on the bodywork! :yes:
He couldn't keep the sidewheel down either - hadn't eaten enough pies........

Pretty scary to think I'm the most experienced swinger down here


That's why us up North are doing our bit to get him up here!
I thought it was becaue all the NI crews are wise to your approaches for gay sex and you see Kai as some fresh meat

They seem to have forgot the "if you fall off it's a slab of piss" bit


Kiwifruit broke some ribs a few years back on mine at the Have a go day for not leaning on the bodywork! :yes:
Did the same on Daves old one at R1 of the nationals one year, every race for the season they'd get another smack and fuck them up some more

[jellywrestler]

The boys gave me a couple, There's your problem, next time talk to Men

[Fast Eddie]

I've lost 14 passengers...... :facepalm:

You should be able to do it in 2 corners............ :yes:

[imdying]

Yeah, actually he did mention that!

Fuck if I'd gone much longer you wouldn't have need to have thrown me... hands would've stopped working and I'd have dropped off the back by myself :laugh:

Bloody 'ell, sounds like the chest protector was a good idea...


Question... how come they have two wheels in a line and one off to the side and not one in the middle and two out the back? I figured it was so it was a chair on a bike, but they've got flat tyres so not really a bike any more.

[sidecar bob]

I've lost 14 passengers...... :facepalm:

You should be able to do it in 2 corners............ :yes:

Interestingly though, the one you have gone the hardest with has never come off. He must be awesome!!

[scrivy]

Interestingly though, the one you have gone the hardest with has never come off. He must be awesome!!

I've said it before - and I'll say it again......... I haven't found a passenger with such strong wrists as you!:shutup:

[nodrog]

.....and what have you figured out about yourself???? Gotta be a retarded something, especially if you want to race sidecars! :eek5:

Anyway, get back out into the shed to get your outfit sorted for Hamster Downs Syndrome! :yes:

Im only slightly retarded, but I also suffer from an inner ear balance problem, so sidecars with the special training wheel are ideal for me.

And I think Bob has Narcolepsy, because he reckons he falls asleep when you are chauffeuring him around.


....I was told it was built by Murray Gorge ....

Is he a Maori?


....Oh, and the same deal goes for any other SI sidecar crews too.....

I have visited the south Island, what will that get me?

[Fast Eddie]

yip, thats configuration of a sidecar, 2 wheels out back would be a trike :)

moderns have got flat tyres now and evolved in design, go back a cople decades and they look a bit more familiar to a biker and look even gnarlier to ride n swing on!

[Kickaha]

The rules don't allow that configuration
It'd be interesting to run against something like that though as once upon a time trikes raced against sidecars in the same races


go back a cople decades and they look a bit more familiar to a biker and look even gnarlier to ride n swing on!
You'd have to go back a bit more than a couple of decades, it be more like 40-50 years+

[jellywrestler]

You'd have to go back a bit more than a couple of decades, it be more like 40-50 years+ international rules for F2 still have handlebars and swingarms, not so far removed from the olden days as the long bikes

[Kickaha]

international rules for F2 still have handlebars and swingarms, not so far removed from the olden days as the long bikes

He's talking looking more like a bike with sidecar attached though, a F2 doesn't resemble that very much, you'd need to go back to at least the bikes running 16 inch wheels at least

[sidecar bob]

Is he a Maori?


Oh fuckin dear ROTFLAMFAOTIWAB, If I hadnt seen most of the tragic workmanship & "injuneering practices" that poor old Gordy has spent the last two months putting right, I wouldnt have understood what he was getting at there.
As one garage spectator remarked, "Dont they have scrutineering down south?"

[jellywrestler]

He's talking looking more like a bike with sidecar attached though, a F2 doesn't resemble that very much, you'd need to go back to at least the bikes running 16 inch wheels at least

yeah but the bikes of nowadays don't look like those of decades ago either ya chimp so what's ya point?

The Owen Greenwood Mini in the UK circa mid '60s was the last cyclecar to go well - and it went so well they banned them.
It was actually a 4 wheeler too - the rears were close enough together to be classed as a single wheel.

The UK Vintage club race cyclecars - Morgans - with chairs up to mid 60's style - which I assume is where Kick gets the 16in wheel figure from.

There were chairs here in the 70's which were normal bike frames with chairs attatched - I remember seeing a couple of lowered Featherbed Nortons like that.

I was fucking sure he was going off there, he certainly looked like he was keen to shout beerI was fuckin sure I was coming off there. Scrivvy had said that should he chuck me off he was shouting a keg though, but at the speed we were going I didn't even contemplate letting go.

When the drive wheel came off the ground however, I honestly didn't think we had a choice in the matter.

When the drive wheel came off the ground however, I honestly didn't think we had a choice in the matter.

Now come on Drew - tell the truth......... What is the only reason why a drive wheel comes off the ground??
Because when going around a right hander, if the passenger is still on the left hand side of the machine....... :yes:

What were you doing still hanging out there on the left when you knew there was a right hander coming up??
You must have really wanted to drink some beer!!! :shutup:

Seriously - it's friggin harder than it looks eh!! Gotta have respect for swingers now!! (Well, not Kick, 'cause he would have come off from acceleration exiting the left hairpin....:facepalm::love:)

Sidecar Bob every once in a while wakes me up when going around right handers, by deliberately grabbing a hand hold on the right hand side and throwing his weight out to the left. This of course lifts the rear tyre off the ground and sends us out of shape!! He's good like that!! Reckons I'm going too slow, and I need a wake up! I used to think I was getting a flat rear tyre, or we were hit from behind, but now know it's just Bob being a bistard!! Makes ya heart beat a little faster - that's for sure!

Oh, and believe me, I have tried my best to shake the bistard, but he just wont come off!
I rate him, without a doubt, as the best sidecar passenger this country has ever had, bar none. Not cause I'm biased, but because I can chuck any other top NZ passenger on my machine and scare them shitless!
Bobs even done a lap around Wanganui in anger on Chris Lawrances long bike without using his hands to hold on!
Show me someone else that's done that!
How many times do you see Bob waving to the crowd while we're racing? Constantly!

Now, going back to the right hander at Taupo............. why were you on the wrong side again.....??

[Fast Eddie]

Now come on Drew - tell the truth......... What is the only reason why a drive wheel comes off the ground??
Because when going around a right hander, if the passenger is still on the left hand side of the machine....... :yes:


I knew it.. that'll be why the drive wheel came off ground on crown lifts carousel corner at 'puna and we got sideways. swinger blamed me ;)

Gordy for the van to sleep in..


Dude, you've got the wrong end of the stick. Gordy didn't mention anything about sleeping...... :facepalm:

[Fast Eddie]

haha, he'll get the wrong end of my stick.

is gordy on KB? my swinger finally decided he is commiting to the barry sheene, and going to come up and join in and race, im hoping i can get him in on the van action too, hes got less cash than me. I'm grabbing his plane tickets for him (hopefully) and promised him white bread and water for the weekend ;)

[Fast Eddie]

or ill bring up my tiny 1 man tent and can pitch that somewhere? dunno how far we can push it before someone tells us to f-off and get a motel room or pay for camp site (open for sex jokes, gwarn)

[scrivy]

...promised him white bread and water for the weekend ;)

You'll get better than that!! :woohoo:

I understand the great boys and girls of the NZSRA will make sure you get fed very well indeed!
How do you like your steak, and what beer do you guys drink? Oh, you'll probably get eggs, bacon and tomatoes, and Burts talking paua, venison, and special chocolate! Might even get Pavlova and ice cream!! :Punk:

[scrivy]

Eddie - 2 things you need to know about Gordy before you get into his van.....

1. He has Elephantiasis - on a certain part of his body,
2. He also has Jumping frenchman disorder - which reeks havoc with the Elephantiasis condition.....

You enter at your own risk....... :love:

[nodrog]

.....Gordy for the van to sleep in.....

Fucken hell, I go away for 5 mins and some dirty saffa has claimed my van.


Dude, you've got the wrong end of the stick. Gordy didn't mention anything about sleeping...... :facepalm:

Looks like I have 4 rides for the weekend.


..... hes got less cash than me...

You are shitting me? how is that possible? Next you will tell us thas he cant afford leathers and just paints himself with black shoe polish before scrutineering.

Dude you forgot the scented candlelight backrub with full bodyslide, Pate is so awesome at those!

[scrivy]

Been done before....... :yes: Worked a treat too I believe!! Infact, the rider even went on to win at Wangas!!

Dude you forgot the scented candlelight backrub with full bodyslide, Pate is so awesome at those!

He is isn't he!! The omanko brush treatment is great too!!

[sidecar bob]

Holy crap, its turned into a shit talk fest since I last looked.
FFS Scrivy, very flattering, but the only reason I dont fall off is that It hurts less to hold on, and, if I do fall off, wether you like it or not, you will never be able to trust me 100 per cant again, & that will be the end of that.
Dave Moly (my chum) said that in his book too.
Eddie, It was me that said you could sleep in the Transit, we will be in a motel, but I suspect Gordys van will be occupied.
P.M Stirts off here & see if she is up for company in their van, because while Gordy thinks he's the boss, we all know better.

[Kornholio]

This thread just makes me wanna own a sidecar... May even put the GSXR1000 upgrade on hold.....

[Henk]

or ill bring up my tiny 1 man tent and can pitch that somewhere? dunno how far we can push it before someone tells us to f-off and get a motel room or pay for camp site (open for sex jokes, gwarn)

If you need I can lend you a tent for the weekend, not going to share a sleeping bag with you though. Won't be there on the Monday but i'm sure we can work out some way to get it back, it's a two man, so by the sounds of it you should be able to squeeze 7 sidecar guys and a bottle of cooking oil in there.

Gordie would actually take up less room than a bottle of cooking oil anyway

[Kickaha]

(Well, not Kick, 'cause he would have come off from acceleration exiting the left hairpin....:facepalm::love:)
Probably by the end of pitlane

Bobs even done a lap around Wanganui in anger on Chris Lawrances long bike without using his hands to hold on!
Only because Chris was doing about 2 minutes a lap slower than he normally would

Dave Moly (my chum)
What a name dropping cunt

because while Gordy thinks he's the boss, we all know better.
He is her bitch

[nodrog]

Dave Moly (my chum) ......

are you chumming around?

I think we have a motel room too (need to check with the team manager), so the Hirace will just be getting used for sex. Anybody that isnt allergic to vaseline and gerbil hair is welcome to sleep in it.


This thread just makes me wanna own a sidecar... May even put the GSXR1000 upgrade on hold.....

legends, all of ya!

the food sounds good, i drink whatevers free and tastes the least like urine :)

any food is good.

swinger n i will cuddle up anywhere, will sus it out when we are up there, transdiesel supplied us with supercheap agip oils so figure will flag the vaseline and hairgel and just go agip 10w40 for all our weekend needs. cheers agip!

sweet nodrog-gordon, lol tricky having all these KB personas

transit van sounds safer bob, hehe..

laughed at some comment earlier "do they even have scrutineering in the south island" brace yourself for the agip bikes current condition, shes a bit sad and tired looking but working hard to tidy it up, fairings should be nice n shiny at least, cant paint chassis not enough time, and the thing needs a full strip n tidy up. will get onto that another time.

new fluids in it, brake, clutch fluids, oil and coolant, brake pads look good, greased most moving parts.. just need to get some loctite to stop everything rattling loose.

[Fast Eddie]

This thread just makes me wanna own a sidecar... May even put the GSXR1000 upgrade on hold.....

just..do...it

why wait, you'll kick yourself later for waiting..

lol, elaphantitis of the foot, prevents him from jumping, or running away like a surrender monkey frenchman


Fucken hell, I go away for 5 mins and some dirty saffa has claimed my van.

haha, just like back home in the RSA




You are shitting me? how is that possible? Next you will tell us thas he cant afford leathers and just paints himself with black shoe polish before scrutineering.

shoepolish is f*ckn dear bro, throw bit of water on some dirt, get ya some nice brown leathers.

looks like 95% confirmed (gotta fill out paperwork n sign stuff when i get home to dunedin) i got a sweet summer job at otago uni though, cha ching. new tyres all round (for my bike, not yours) and whatever else needs to be done by then, entries for nationals north island rounds and paeroa street race and put some aside for the barry sheene next year i bet ;)

[Drew]

Now come on Drew - tell the truth......... What is the only reason why a drive wheel comes off the ground??
Because when going around a right hander, if the passenger is still on the left hand side of the machine....... :yes:

What were you doing still hanging out there on the left when you knew there was a right hander coming up??
You must have really wanted to drink some beer!!! :shutup:

I couldn't get from the left to the right fully, in the time allowed. Both times I tried I was dragged down the straight literally hanging off the back of the thing.

I shoulda ridden and you swung like you suggested, but we wouldn't have gapped the rest of those homos that way.

[nodrog]

..... gapped the rest of those homos that way.

do not type that into google images!

[Kickaha]

I couldn't get from the left to the right fully, in the time allowed.

How much fucking time do you want?

You should try the dipper at full noise or the chicane at Levels

It's funny watching those corners from trackside though, looks like there's plenty of time but it certainly doesn't feel like it when you're racing

[sidecar bob]

How much fucking time do you want?

You should try the chicane at Levels


You should keep practicing that one until you dont slide up the road & break your wrist doing it, while going at half my usual pace.

[Kickaha]

You should keep practicing that one until you dont slide up the road & break your wrist doing it, while going at half my usual pace.

I've had a bit more practice since, still can't work out quite what went wrong as up until the point I was tumbling along trackside it'd all felt pretty good

Kai knows all about the dipper to, I told Jo he was going to fall off about 2 seconds before he did

[scrivy]

I shoulda ridden and you swung like you suggested, but we wouldn't have gapped the rest of those homos that way.

We did win the race though....... :woohoo:

[scrivy]

You should keep practicing that one until you dont break your wrist doing it, while going at half my usual pace.

WTF??? We talking monkey spanking here??? That sounds pretty vigourous Bob......... :shutup:

[scrivy]

You been in Gordys van before???:sick::shifty::crazy::shutup:

[scrivy]

Gordie would actually take up less room than a bottle of cooking oil anyway

Errrr....... depends on where ya gunna stick that bottle.....

[scrivy]

the food sounds good, i drink whatevers free and tastes the least like urine :)
That'll be Bobs urine then.... He drinks so much Heineken that all he pisses is Heineken.....

swinger n i will cuddle up anywhere, will sus it out when we are up there
transit van sounds safer bob, hehe..


I can bring up some single mattresses in my van, and Chris Lawrance has mattresses in his truck. I'm sure you can chuck them in a van or tent somewhere.....:yeah:

[scrivy]

FFS Scrivy, very flattering, but the only reason I dont fall off is that It hurts less to hold on, and, if I do fall off, wether you like it or not, you will never be able to trust me 100 per cant again, & that will be the end of that.
Dave Moly (my chum) said that in his book too.


I don't trust you 100% now!! You're always trying to hurt me!!
Oh, my mate Kevin (K E V I N) told me not to trust you.................. said you kept following me around all the time - much like a lurker...... :shifty::drinkup:

[Kickaha]

Oh, my mate Kevin :
Now we know you're lying, you don't have any mates because you're such a cunt :finger:

Scrivy is talking about his mate Kevin Scwantz, for Kev & him are pals of sorts. And while Kev is a top bloke, he didnt win 16 (sixteen) titles, on machines he built himself like me mate Dave did!!!

[sidecar bob]

I've had a bit more practice since, still can't work out quite what went wrong as up until the point I was tumbling along trackside it'd all felt pretty good


You failed under pressure.:p

Im keen if you are!! You start in front of me every time - as you'll be the one falling off the back and I can set my sights on you!!!! :pinch:

[Kickaha]

Im keen if you are!! You start in front of me every time -

Well we'd obviously be starting in front of you because that's where we'd qualify

I wonder what is easier to start the housebus with both of you pushing or the LCR with only me doing it, I'm getting tired just thinking about it
:yawn:

I could never work out why people would leave a perfectly good starter motor off a bike motor to save a couple of kg

PMSL! How much head start did Bob and I give you two at Levels? About 50 seconds, and we still beat you!!! PMSL!!

[scrivy]

Hey Eddie.... See ya got a few seconds at Roo a poon a today!

Almost beat Kicks lap times......... :rofl: and that's when he bypassed the dipper.............

[Fast Eddie]

hehe shot bro, yea 2nd out of 3 bikes ;) hahah

we were only hoping to get to 2 min laptimes.. but made it to 1.57 instead.. 2 more secs to shave off and will be getting happy.

meaaaaan day today, bikes running mint. need a few exhaust repairs and touch up the primer.. then its yellow time! running out of time though.. the truck will prob pick the bike up any day now... :s feeling the pressure to get paint done!

was trying to borrow another fullas bike to run during the club meetings ill miss while bikes up north. old fellas down here wont share their toys tho. fkn c*nts lol. i only go off the track once or twice per race. pretty low risk in my view :D

[Kickaha]

PMSL! How much head start did Bob and I give you two at Levels? About 50 seconds, and we still beat you!!! PMSL!!

That's because we were told to take it easy on the special needs kids, we didn't want to lower your self esteem to much by beating you

[Fast Eddie]

epic clip kickaha - he looked like he got pretty messed up.. hope he recovered back to normal

[nodrog]

The Agip bike looks quite mustard coloured to me. Perhaps you could just get it dirty?

[sidecar bob]

Weve just had the 'Busa painted the same color as the Hoooker Pacific fuel trucks. Kind of fluro vest color.
I think the field is going to be fairly well presented this season.

will chuck the stickers on and run it for now, can have another crack at matching the photos and colors later, maybe round nats

[gsxr]

Photoshop will fix that in an instance.
Or maybe you have to provide all spectators with rose tinted glasses.

Could be just the feminine side of you coming out. Dont worry it ill pass when you have to bend over and take it like a man,

which race was that? plenty of dodgy moments on board my bike -
He looked like he was about to shout beer in race 1 about 6.03 in the dipper, he looks like he's changing over to late


Because we were 'SPECIAL'!!! :pinch:
You still are special, SPECIAL FUCKING NEEDS

[nodrog]

What sort of Briggs and Stratton engine is that?

[racer40]

Hi All, cant remember if i've posted this yet, but should have a minimum of 18 modern sidecars at Hampton, & working on 1 more

[Fast Eddie]

oooo yes, I was even giving him like a split second delay between turning left to right before the dipper to help him get across, if i go quicker through there he may very well be shouting the next drinks :D he almost did that time


What sort of Briggs and Stratton engine is that?
haha on my bike? yea we broke the exhaust.. or the exhaust broke itself. either way.. hope to weld it up on the weekend if I can..

awesome

[sidecar bob]

is that you with your helmet off coming out of the hay bales Bob?

handsome young fella you were, how old were you back then?

They cut the footage & played it back to front so it appeared that they had actually captured rider & swinger. First I sat on the bale & rubbed my knee, which incedentally still hurts right now, then I took off my helmet & came out from under the tent.
I was 20 there & Scrivy had just turned 17.
If you look in the background to the left at 1.38 you will see Scrivy sitting on the ground in red & white leathers with his back to the camera having a sulk.
I heard yesterday that apparently he still sulks when someone beats him on a far more expensive outfit. Seriously, where the fuck do people dream this shit up?

[nodrog]

I heard yesterday that apparently he still sulks when someone beats him on a far more expensive outfit.
Imagine the sulkage when he gets owned by my $627 piece of poo then.

[scrivy]

Bob can ride and I'll swing (the worst combination ever...), and we'll still kick your ass!!
Hamsters is gunna be a hoot!! :corn:

Make sure you have your metamucil for breakfast.

[Henk]

Make sure you have your metamucil for breakfast.

Shit no, I'm going to go on a diet that is as binding as possible for the two weeks before, and I'll probably still come out of the weekend with a couple of pairs of brown undies.

You can have all the fibre you want, scrivy will still find a way in there.

[scrivy]

So it's a good job I didn't ride that time at the have a go day?

Mate, even with the worlds best rider, my swinging abilities would still make us come last..... :weep:

But with your riding abilities........... fuck man, we'd have............................ still been last................ :pinch:;)

[scrivy]

Make sure you have your metamucil for breakfast.

Dude, I'll be having prunes and baked beans, to make sure I empty my bowels..... to reduce weight......
I'll also have a shave....
I'll bite off more of my finger nails.....
I'll trim my nose hairs......
I'll shave my pubes.....
I'll have a wank....
I'll trim my toe nails,
I'll race without socks and undies....
I'll even get some colonic irrigation going on..............................

I'll do anything to reduce my weight just so I can beat you buddy!!!:yes:

[scrivy]

scrivy will still find a way in there.

Give me the slightest wiff of a gap, and I'll get through.....................:woohoo:

.....hang on, we're talking corners right?? :eek5:

[Drew]

Mate, even with the worlds best rider, my swinging abilities would still make us come last..... :weep:

But with your riding abilities........... fuck man, we'd have............................ still been last................ :pinch:;)

With me riding, there would have been HEAPS of pictures of us at the front. When they came round to lap us, no one would be stupid enough to have tried to actually go past. I ride like I make baskets. Weave bitch, WEEEEAAAAVE!

[scrivy]

Imagine the sulkage when he gets owned by my $627 piece of poo then.

Hey Gordy, Bob sent me a piccy of your rig nearly finished today.....
You're gunna cane up at the Downs.....................:nya:

[scrivy]

With me riding, there would have been HEAPS of pictures of us at the front. When they came round to lap us, no one would be stupid enough to have tried to actually go past. I ride like I make baskets. Weave bitch, WEEEEAAAAVE!

I swing like you ride............................ Slow and unco.................... :cry:

[Drew]

I really need Alan to get us an outfit already. You sick cunts are way more fun than solo riders. And to make matters worse I'm about to have to deal with solo bucket racers. Should take all of five minutes to get my head kicked in there!

[scrivy]

Gordy's spent time putting his bitchin sounds on his sidecar, 'cause he reckons he'll be spending so much time on it, that he may as well take his music with him!

Bit worried about his safety gear though..................

[Drew]

Oh fuck yeah, we're soooooo chucking some booms on the rig we get!

Baby grand is more my style though, what are the max dimensions of a chair again?

[scrivy]

:sick:

Come and join the dark side Drew.................... Gordy hasn't even raced a modern yet, but is building one (well, if sticky tape and cardboard still counts...), and he'll be ready for the Downs....... I SAID - HE'LL BE READY FOR THE DOWNS...... (Hear that Gordy?)
(Total cost of rig??? Maybe just over $50......... Nah, probably somewhere near $3000??)

Actually, why not go to the Downs to watch Gordys debut....................
Fuck, I might sit out the first race just to have a watch too... (read as 'Laugh').............

Nah, Gordys got the balls to show up at an International meet with 10's and 10's of thousands of eyes watching him, without ever turning the wheels on his new rig.....
It takes men of steel Drew, men of steel to do that!
I applaude him for his commitment!

Well, after HD, he probably will be committed!!! (To an institution............) :sunny:

Get a chair, go hard, even if you're last, you'll still have fun Drew............ Solos are cool, but sidecars RULE! :rockon:
They're more fun than watching Hungarian dwarf fisting porn at Bobs.............:sick: ....even better than RTA action......... (well... just...) :yes:

[scrivy]

what are the max dimensions of a chair again?

Inversely proportionate to the size of your nads...................
(Maybe you should race a long bike too............................................) :nya::innocent:

[Drew]

Inversely proportionate to the size of your nads...................
(Maybe you should race a long bike too............................................) :nya::innocent:Pfft, with that dimension theory, there won't be room on our outfit for either of us to sit. Alan and I had never ridden a chair, so we went and did the nats to learn how it's done. No.5 NZ;)

Fanta pants will whip his nuts out for your inspection when we see ya.

[Drew]

Inversely proportionate to the size of your nads...................
(Maybe you should race a long bike too............................................) :nya::innocent:Besides, you don't want another newby to come along with a long chair and spank your arse do ya?

[scrivy]

Besides, you don't want another newby to come along with a long chair and spank your arse do ya?

Only if he has talent................ ;)

[Kickaha]

I heard yesterday that apparently he still sulks when someone beats him on a far more expensive outfit.
I heard he sulks if people just look at him funny or the sun goes behind a cloud

So it's a good job I didn't ride that time at the have a go day?
You would have been fine for at least one lap, he managed a warmup lap with Dave at levels without falling off although I think Dave was to scared to change up out of first

And to make matters worse I'm about to have to deal with solo bucket racers. Should take all of five minutes to get my head kicked in there!
Sidecar people and Bucket riders aren't to far apart they're both outcasts of the motorcycle world and similar personalities

[sidecar bob]

Besides, you don't want another newby to come along with a long chair and spank your arse do ya?

Theres a fine line between spanking someones arse & spanking your monkey.

[Kickaha]

Drew is more of an expert at spanking his monkey than anything else

Dave later told me that that was the fastest he'd ever gone around Levels!!:yawn::yawn::yawn:

No.5 ?!! Holy Fuck!!! Really???

5th out of 5!!! That's a sterling effort dude!! :pinch::eek5::facepalm::shutup::killingme

Nah, seriously, get out there now!! Have some fun!

[scrivy]

He was only saying that so you wouldn't feel to bad about how absolutely crap you were:yes:

I publicly admit that I'm a crap swinger...................... But at least my laptimes weren't as crap as yours in the race.................... :corn:

I know, for practice at Hampsters, why don't you swing for me, and Bob can swing for Fast Eddie. :niceone:

We can put a wager on the number of laps you can do......
Maybe someone on here can start a poll........ :wait:

[scrivy]

Besides, you don't want another newby to come along with a long chair and lick your arse do ya?

Why wouldn't ya wanna do that???:drinkup: Only a fool would pass on RTA!

[Kickaha]

We can put a wager on the number of laps you can do.:
At the moment I doubt I could make it out of pit lane without getting to tired and falling off

Thank fuck for guys like you & Gordy. Both fairly new on the scene & both busting your arses to turn up with well prepared & excellently presented bikes.
Im struggling to find the motivation to slip a new set of rear pads into the Beemer classic chair at the mo, you guys put me to shame.
Also Eddie, good on you for embracing the history of your machine, it means a lot to me, to see someone return one of our old war horses to as near original as possible.
As you could see in the youtube clip, I was sharing track with that machine 25 years ago & look forward to seeing it out there again pretty much as it was.

No worries at all mate - its not even work for me, I love it!

haha you'll get there with the brake pads, keep trying :D

more pics as we finish the job, Mrs Eddie has already expressed interest in having a go at driving one of these things. I've had her out on the chair a few times now (think shes been on Annans chair too) and shes getting keener and keener!

Errr...... and all 10 teams did all the rounds??? :corn:

No, but we only did two rounds so I'm standing by my 5 NZ!

[scrivy]

Bob and I got 3rds and even a second in our first year on tracks we'd never been to before, on a rig valued at $1500, when others were... $$$$ truckloads more. I think there were around 22-25 rigs racing back then.

Just shows that you dont need flash harry gear....... but a mongrel in ya.....
You'd do well Drew.......... :yes:

[scrivy]

No, but we only did two rounds so I'm standing by my 5 NZ!

I guess saying you're 5th out of 5 is better than saying you were last........ :Oops:

naw, shouldnt take u more than an hour and a half welly to HD on your RF

you can sleep with me and my swinger in the van

actually - mrs eddie wants to come up and watch me debut on the north island too, I told her to get herself some air tickets and the boys will take care of her!

(but now with me, my swinger and the mrs coming up I think we may def switch to tenting - what do you guys recon? think the mrs offered to pay that 50 buck camping fee.. is it 50 per person, or just 1 off 50 bucks and 3 ppl could camp up in a tent.. or two.. I dont think I need my swingers help at night time to keep me upright)

is everyone else sleeping in a motel? how far is the motel from the track.. and is it dear per night? mrs has a little cash she has offered up but not much, and swinger is about as broke as me

We have at least three empty vans for sleeping in.
8 to 9 km to the motel.
We will all bus around in the vans together, to eat, to get gas etc, nobody will have to walk.
Basically, we will function as a team for most of the weekend.
