Is three enough to make it worth the effort? If so we'll wait on the hillbillies to make a call and hope that Brenton turns up to make 4.
Running that track anticlockwise is the hardest I've had to work on the chair so far.

You six fingered banjo players commit to dragging the chair up and I'll get you a liter of the strongest beer I can get on tap at my local. No matter how crap it is, as long as Rick thinks three rigs is worth the effort of putting ours on the trailer.
Two ten lap races on Sat at every meeting we can run them at and I'll put up a liter and a half of port for the series win.

Starts off really slow, big party in the middle; then a big F##k you at the end.
Just like a night on the Griff Bootleg...

Pretty much no additional effort for me to cart mine down (the joy of only having one bike). Better get those new tires on it over christmas some time, oh and fit the exhuast.

Actually Bert, still got any leavers for those master cylinders? I have a spear but the one that is on the bike did not apreciate the upwards force from the garage door:facepalm:

Yeah I was still keen for a spare/stronger one.

yea we are working on the CNC version replacement.
I'll bring up another cast one for you and replace it once the new ones are finished.

I though you grabbed my spare out of the toolbox down south...

erm, not me sorry, haven't broken one (ooh I've said it now:shutup:), but yeah the CNC version sound good.

Actually night before I was thinking an adjustable return travel limiter at the tip would be a nice addition (if people are careful not to close off the return port) as mine does seem to have a bit of travel before anything happens (despite braided & two port bleed with good seals) & if I adjust it further out I'll have trouble reaching it.

sh!t; so it will crab, weave and be totally slow....

you should consider multiple mounting points for the linkage arm (between the bars and the fork head).

at least that will offer up some adjustment if it turns too quick.

Also I've got a stack of steering dampers...

Also I've got a stack of steering dampers...I don't have any experience with linkage steering, but I do with the wobble from too steep geometry. Our full size chair is extremely interesting to ride on warm up laps. The front is twitchy and wobbles like fuck till the tyre gets up to temp.

Toe the chair wheel in a coulple degrees though, and it sorts it out.

Alrite we better get our shit (sidecars) together (going).
I think there were enough bucket guys harrassing the feilding high school display that they are hopefully going to bring one or two of their sidecars up to Taumaranui. Will contact them with some more details and let you all know how it progresses either way

Top effort to all that did the harnessing...
It would be interesting to try and get closer ties with the high school challenge...
