If you want a mono shock for the rear i have a K7 GSXR1000 shock at home.

chur, but that's about 50 years too advanced, some geezer would have a heart attack seeing the external damping chamber thingee.

Last week at round one of the World champs Reeves and Birchall have a coliision which put Birchalls out of the race and then Reeves was given a DQ

Stolen from Steves Place

Birchalls pull out of worlds

STATEMENT

Throughout the winter the team has worked tirelessly as always, in preparation for our assault on the World Championship, with a burning desire to regain the title of FIM World Champions. However the events of the first round of the 2015 Championship at Donington Park last weekend, quickly and savagely brought into question the value of the winter’s efforts and left the team with an exceptionally tough and unwelcome decision to make at the dawning of the new season. The highly reckless negligent driving witnessed during Round 1 of the Championship, is the type of behaviour that can tip teams over the edge for numerous reasons.

Firstly from a financial standpoint teams just do not have the resources to re-group and repair swiftly enough to maintain a permanent competitive presence on the circuit. The financial survival of teams like ours relies heavily on our loyal sponsors. The day to day costs of running a team are difficult enough to finance, but the additional avoidable costs of repairs resulting from the all too frequent reckless incidents like those experienced last weekend, place teams unnecessarily in a position of financial jeopardy.

Secondly, like all genuine motor sports competitors, Birchall Racing needs a governing body to maintain a level playing field for all, such that we can participate in a fair & honest race and have a realistic chance of success. Key to achieving a level playing field, the governing body must consistently uphold its rules at all times, and apply sanctions which adequately penalise infractions of those rules. For persistent offenders, the penalties must be commensurate with the continuous disregard for and flouting of the rules, and as such act as a real deterrent to any future repetition. Failure to uphold the rules & regulations denies our team, those of our fellow genuine competitors, and the paying public, a fair & honest race. As a competitor, it is soul destroying and increasingly demoralising to know that due to a lack of assertive action by the governing body, a certain few continually flout and make a mockery of the rules, and in doing so deny fair competition, effectively robbing genuine competitors such as Birchall Racing of precious points, and of the opportunity to challenge for the World Championship title.

The aforementioned consequences of reckless driving however pale into insignificance when one considers the threat to human life posed by such selfish actions. Our sport, like almost all motor sports is a dangerous one by its very nature. The governing bodies of all motor sports have invested significant energy and resources into all aspects of safety in an effort to minimise the inherent risks to participants and spectators alike. Despite all the safety measures taken, we are all too well aware that our sport cannot be made completely safe and therefore accidents do occasionally happen, resulting in serious injury and worse. The reckless actions on display last weekend, show a wanton disregard for the FIM, fellow competitors and spectators alike, and without wishing to over-dramatise things, had it not been for a certain amount of luck on the part of Birchall Racing, the FIM could well have been facing a much more serious situation to deal with.

Furthermore, Birchall Racing has recently received information directly from a source within the official organiser, that they are aware of specific instances of a competitor using illegal parts, but for unspecified reasons has not taken any action against that competitor.

The Governing Body cannot take a passive stance and wait for participating teams to raise complaints relating to illegal activities. On the contrary, it has to be proactive in consistently and firmly upholding its rules, and in doing so maintaining the integrity of the event it is charged with administering. Like many of our true competitors whom we highly respect, the Birchall Racing Team has committed a great deal to our beloved sport over many years, having our share of thrills, spills and spoils, and in doing so has made a positive contribution to the overall development and growing popularity of sidecar racing. Whilst we are more than prepared to continue confronting the inherent dangers of our sport for the thrill of racing wheel to wheel with true honest competitors in pursuit of success, we can no longer participate in an event which in our view does not deal seriously enough with renegade participants that continually flout the rules of racing and in doing so make a mockery of true and fair competition. We have therefore reluctantly taken the decision to withdraw from the FIM 2015 World Championship.

This decision has been an extremely difficult and painful one. Last weekend's events provided the tipping point, following a long history of unprofessional, hostile and unsavoury behaviour on track, in the pit lane, and on social media. As racers, withdrawing from the World Championship is probably the most difficult decision Birchall Racing has taken in its racing history, but we can only presume that absent proactive assertive action by the sport’s Governing Body, this situation will continue in perpetuity or until someone gets seriously or fatally injured. Neither being robbed of the opportunity to fairly & effectively fight for the Championship on a level playing field, nor risking injury as a result of the recklessness, negligence or intent of others, are options for the Birchall Racing Team. We sincerely hope that the FIM takes a firmer line in the future policing of its own rules & regulations, and in the effective deterrent sanctioning of those who flout them and generally demean the sport we love - should that be the case we would readily reconsider our decision.

In the meantime Birchall Racing will focus and intensify its efforts on competing in the other events and Championships to which it has committed in 2015, and will do its utmost to bring continued success to its highly valued & loyal sponsors, team members, and supporters.

The problem is, at what point does one write something like that? it looks like things have been getting out of hand in a number of areas for quite a while. If racing is essentially their employment, it sounds like stuff that would be stamped on in the workplace & should be treated no differently. Personally I think its a step above a cry baby whine & its something that had to be done if they were withdrawing for the season as they will have a heap of fans sponsors & supporters that need to be kept in the picture & the release ceartainly sums their situation up leaving little scope for ambiguity.

Agreed Bob. Be good if one of the chairs that is or has been cheating fessd up to it, to try and draw the organisers into doing a more proffessional job of policing the rules to make it safer and fairer for all other competitors. But hey, you know me, I always come up with silly idea,s.

I'd have far more sympathy if I actually knew what the fuck the problem is, but I suspect it may just be a first world problem like name calling?
Yes correct, it is.
I had a visit today from a chap that is well in the know & he gave me the full story. While It is well documented that I am not a Tuckerman sympathiser, this chap is not worth feeling sorry for & is largely the maker of his own undoing. It seems that this is his next step after demanding a cash pay out to shut up failed him.
Apparently Tuckerman refered to him as "that guy that beats his kids" (I have no way of knowing wether that is in fact the case or not) & he's taken exception to it.
He'd better not be wasting my MNZ licence fees on trivial shit. It's not the fuckin treaty of waitangi where you get given shit for pretending to feel aggrieved.

It may be, but it wouldn't be easy as the single cammer uses two roller chains side by side for the primary plus a roller chain for the cam drive. The twin cam 900 uses a wide hyvo chain for the primary and another hyvo for the cam...I'd think there may be clearance issues too.

CB 900 F DOHC crank

For the ultimate power hungry: The Honda Bol d'Or / CB 900 F DOHC crank can made fit into the CB 750 case to deliver 69mm stroke (63mm stock). Combined with stock or big bore:
Bore (mm) Displacement (cc)
61.00 807
65.00 888
67.00 973
67.50 1002
70.00 1062
73.00 1171

Bearings fit, so much for the good news. Rotor and ignition are swapped on the Bol d'Or crank, so you'd best swap them, too. (Need to put an oil seal on the left side). For racing, you may leave out the rotor and use a total loss ignition or a magneto. Primary chain is a Hy-Vo chain now, which is good as you would need a stronger primary train anyway. A drive sprocket from a Gold Wing can be fitted on the stock primary wheel. Need to take care of a chain tensioner. Cam chain also is Hy-Vo, probably machine a Bol d'Or or late CB 250/450 N cam sprocket to fit the SOHC/4 cam. Longer stroke means either shorter rods or a spacer under the cylinder foot, which is what most people do. Find a cam chain that fits, build a chain tensioner, and you're done. :-) Well, almost...

Pushing on and getting closer to the limit with each lap were Gordon Shand and Astrid Hartnell, who are getting to know the finer points each other styles having only just teamed up for the Sidecar TT.

Gordon’s regular passenger is out following an injury and Astrid – a front running competitor in the NZ National Sidecar Championship – was only asked to step in after arriving on the Island over the weekend. Only the paperwork from New Zealand stands between Astrid and being the first female passenger from New Zealand to compete at the TT.

A day of mixed emotions today. The flying Kiwi Bruce Anstey topped the timesheets in the solo practice, Colin Buckley and Robbie Shorter suffered a front tyre deflation after just one lap, but did complete the lap and were going quickly before hand. Unconfirmed, but from a team member, Daggs and Richard suffered a puncture after completing a lap, but Chris and Darren broke down. It's been a super-frustrating experience for the sidecars, with today's session, despite being run in near perfect conditions, having to be shortened as the light faded. Then as the night closes in on us, the terrible news comes through that the incident at Sulby claimed the life of Franck Petricola.

Dags and Richie managed a 92mph lap which put them 39 out of 53 for the session

From Astrid Hartnell

Hey guys thanks for all the support with the opportunity I have been offered to ride this years TT with Carl Cox sister team, Shand racing. I have looked into all aspects of me racing, but due to my existing wrist injury I hav been advised against it, so although its an amazing opportunity ive decided to just carry on spectating. It was an awesome to even get a test ride with one of the worlds best F2 teams!!!

good call, especially when all the other competitors had the luzury of months of getting mentally prepared and learning the track through videos etc first, whereas Astrid wouldn't really have had this opportunity.

Setting the pace in sidecar practice tonight was John Holden/Dan Sayle.

The duo who have between them nine TT victories produced lap speed of 112.781 mph as they showed impressive speed on Honda powered Silicone Engineering Racing outfit.

Second fastest was Dave Molyneux/Benjamin Binns who showed top class pace lapping at 110.441 mph in A&J Groundworks backed DMR outfit.

Birchall brothers Ben and Tom showcased their undoubted talent by finishing third fastest following lap speed of 110.186 mph.

Standout sidecar newcomers from TT 2014 Alan Founds/Tom Peters impressed hugely following lap speed of 107.097 mph whilst Karl Bennett/Lee Cain at 104.837 mph where also impressive.

TT legend Roy Hanks/Kevin Perry, Gary Knight/Jason Crowe and Dwight Beare/Noel Beare all showed excellent speed as they all got their timed practice week campaign’s off to highly productive starts.

Matt Dix/Shaun Parker 104.573, Tony Baker/Fiona Baker Milligan 103.140, John Lowther/Jake Lowther 102.635 mph all enjoyed a top night of practice.

Multiple duo’s are capable of podium finishes in the 2015 sidecar TT races.

Following a high class evening’s action where all set for another fantastic sidecar practice session tomorrow as all outfits continue their preparations for opening sidecar race of TT 2015 scheduled to start on Saturday.

Changing any amount of engines is 100% ok. But when you have a chair that has blown 2 up in a few days, it would seriously make you wonder about the whole package as a safety issue to start with. And Honestly, so would I, 2 motors in such a short time is really not good at all.

Molyneux sets the pace during windy Sidecar session

Seventeen-time TT winner logs fastest lap of the week

The sidecars got the chance to go out first at Friday evening's TT qualifying session.

It's been an at-times frustrating week for the riders and their passengers, with occasional poor weather and on-track incidents cutting down the time available to them to get their laps in.

But they got away on time on Friday, and managed to get a full session in before it was time for the solos to take over.

Local sidecar legend Dave Molyneux, a 17-time TT winner, posted the fastest time of the night and indeed the week, averaging almost 114.7mph.

He wasn't too comfortable with the conditions, though, as he told Vauxhall Radio TT's Chris Kinley afterwards

Trouble is, you're talking sidecars not solos. The chairs bring problems, particularly oiling problems, which are unique to them. Then also, what has been working satisfactorily on short circuits may not work well at the TT.
I'd think you could go there as well prepped as you could imagine and still get caught out. For one thing, how do you duplicate the sheer length of time on full noise ? Fuel feed adequate ? With baffled sumps, is the oil drainback adequate ? Will it suck air and fuck a crank ?
Pretty sure I didn't build those motors, quite pleased I'm not there actually.

And just how old is Roy Hanks ? At what point did his odds get higher than his age ?

I here ya Grumph, but just based on what you have said above perfectly your self, that is lack of preperation is it not? If you are going racing there, you go prepared for the extreme conditions that chairs and bikes are put under. How many other chairs blew 2 motors in such a short time? Yes it could be fueling, or electrics, or just bad workman ship with the motor, or even a m,ix of all the above, still comes down to lack of preperation does it not?

Delay to Monday race schedule due to RTC
http://www.iomtt.com/~/media/Images/News/2015/June/FOX_2391-620.jpg
Sidecars practicing Credit - DaveKneale.com/iomtt.com

Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson was forced to announce a two hour delay to today's schedule following a Road Traffic Collision on open roads.

The incident took place at Ballacrye minutes before roads were due to close for the start of Monday's schedule.

Just after 1030 Mr Thompson announced that the delay to the programme was likely to be at least two hours.

With very little room in the already packed schedule it remains to be seen what the full effect of the dealy will be on racing and qualifying over the next few days.

Further information is expected around 1130

Colin Buckley/Robbie Shorter - 11th place - fastest lap of 108.785 m.p.h. (bronze replica)
Darryl 'Dags' Rayner/Richard Lawrance - 19th place - fastest lap in excess of 105 m.p.h. (sorry don't have exact figure in front of me)
Chris Lawrance/Darren Prentis - DNF - stopped at Parliament Square on first lap (we think)

On the solos, Bruce Anstey scored two second places today, one in the electrics and one in the Supersport race. Ian Hutchinson romped to another win.... Bruce has 3 podiums (a win and two seconds) from four races.

Lightweight and Senior TT on Friday. Weather is scheduled to be OK.

He wants to talk about preparation.

How far off the pace was he before he tried to kill himself? Something was off, or he had lost his bottle.

TT replicas don't tell lies, we all know there are no first placings if there are no last placings, remember Shaun, the season in NZ you prepared for your last TT, i seem to remember you stuggled to even get in the top ten in new zealand 600 racing which to me shows that you'd lost the golden touch you had before you even left new zealand, although to be fair you did get fastest at iom in one session on the 600 but couldn't produce the consistent front running times you once could

So any bets on what sidecars they're talking about coming over? I know Tim Reeves has indicated his interest before and Adolf Hanni has also said he'd discuss it with Klaffi which would possibly mean the Birchalls, be interesting to see some of their top F2 guys run against our fastest F1

Hopefully no F1's take out Tim on his 6 Hundy..... :nono::whistle:

They'll probably only get that chance when he's lapping them

Hmmm... not at this stage....
If trade stays the same as it is now, I'll just have to stay at home and watch racing on CTAS....

last time biggs and nuttal came they won the TT at puke on a 600, and that was his spare bike. that could've been an ongoing thing but main sponsor didn't even get a picture of the teams at the end of the season so spent their coin elsewhere.

Yes. Bringing in an overseas rider can be a bit of a thankless task. Im cured & Id rather invest in local talent now.
