Riff Raff is a swinger

[Riff Raff]

OMFG what a rush! 3 laps of Puke swinging off Goober and Pete's sidecar.

After 30 seconds of instruction from Pete I headed out. First lap was to be a slow lap (didn't feel that slow) with me sitting comfortably and enjoying the experience, then if I wanted to try moving about I could. Well I couldn't wait to get the action going so I did it straight away. I guess Goober was happy enough with my performance, because he cranked it up for the second and third lap. The s-bend by Castrol is a bit hair-raising - it's a pretty quick change from leaning left to right and I was a long way from getting that right. The forces working against you together with moving round on a little platform at speed made it a scary, but exhilirating experience. I'm fortunate that I have a lot of upper body strength from my job, but I still had quite a few 'oh f**k' moments where I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to hold on. Absolutely loved the hairpin - just the right balance of terror and excitement.

Would I do it again - HELL YEAH!!!!! Some of the best fun I've had with all my clothes on.

Thanks to Speedmedic who attempted to get photos - there's some fabulous ones of the track - he says it was 'cos we were going too fast! I blame it on the fact that he's had no sleep for 2 days from helping Team KB between his night shifts!

Thanks Goober for taking me out, and Pete for giving up your spot for me. Muchly appreciated.

I doubt I outdid you mate. But I don't have sore arms (they were just a little bit trembly afterwards), and I didn't collapse afterwards. I just wandered round with a heeeeuuuuuuge grin on my face.

The skinny bugger was a no show - claimed he wasn't allowed to leave work early or something.

Just as well you dident collapse... Kickaha took great advantage of me when I did.... and believe me you dont want that:weep:

I'm seriously worried about that skinny bastard..... FFS get him out of Dorkland:doctor:

[Quasievil]

OH , I read the heading and thought yeah , I could have guessed that ! I mean look at the other half, but now I know your not talking about that eh :wait:

[Joni]

Hehehe... I knew you would love it! :spudbooge

I hope Speedmedic got at least one pic of you out there.:2thumbsup

[bugjuice]

awesome! i wanna go!!

[Riff Raff]

There was one of her leaving the pits. thats it, sorry..:doh:
Yeah this is it! He didn't even get the whole bike in!!!


Hehehe... I knew you would love it! :spudbooge
Yep. You're next! We've just been planning it....

[Riff Raff]

Hey i fucken pressed the button like you old me and the damn thing took the picture well after my brain said "press". But lots of things happened well after brain thought them today.
Shouldn't you be in bed catching up on 3 days of sleep?

[Firefight]

Maybe I will come to your place and wake up those beggars from the homeland at around 0800hrs and see what the go is then?


bit of co2 at 05.30 should do the trick, leave a door unlocked this time Sue



F/F:blink:

[MadDuck]

Good on ya RR I would love to have a go if any one would let me :wait:

Do it! You should head down to Taupo the next time they do a 'have a go' day. Will have to find out when they do the next one and get a few KBers out there. It's seriously good fun.

Yeah ok mate, better to leave unlocked than have you gain entry by one of your other officially sanctioned methods! Just make sure you do the spare bedroom where Kickaha is lurking, or the couch where Goober will inevitably end up to get away from Goobers snoring.

[White trash]

Well, I got to try the outfit on for size today, in the pilots seat of course, and I've got to say, I could seriously see myself racing one of these trike things.

I spent the day hanging out in the pits and the general friendliness and good natured piss taking amongst the outfit boys is a welcome change from the bitching and moaning of the solo riders.

Be a oerfect form of motor sport if your missus wanted to be a part of it with ya.

No no no, you misunderstand, I was only trying it for size. If I had'a gotten the chance to ride it, they wouldn't have been taking the fucker home. That's for sure.

Goober did say I could have a hoon but it's nigh on impossible to tell when the poker faced prick's taking the piss. As our poor waitress at the restaurant found out last night.

[Kickaha]

Weeeeee heeeeeeeeee, good shit aint it RR? did that skinny runt have a go?


Nah he made some bullshit excuse about having to work and couldn't make,reckon he was just to scared myself :finger:



Just as well you dident collapse... Kickaha took great advantage of me when I did.... and believe me you dont want that:weep:


Took advantage of you? bullshit kicked you a couple of times and told you not to be a big frilly blouse is what I did, Sue would make a much better swinger than you :yes: no getting off the outfit and collapsing for her


Do it! You should head down to Taupo the next time they do a 'have a go' day. Will have to find out when they do the next one and get a few KBers out there. It's seriously good fun.

It will be in March I think I will let everyone know when it is on and will travel up to it if I can

Damn straight - didn't even have any sore muscles afterwards, and I've still got that huge, silly grin on my face. Told my colleagues in class yesterday and I just got 19 horror-struck faces turning towards. Geez you'd think I'd sprouted horns or something.

[White trash]

Not everyone can be as brave as me!!

I'll give you fucken brave.

Anyone wanna lend me a Gixxer 1K with a pillion seat?

[Stevo]

I am working up the stupidity (NOT bravado) to have a go on one. Maybe one day......................

Fact: It's a myth that side car racing is more dangerous that solos.

People have the misconception that as a swinger, they're powerless to control the speed of the outfit. Fact is, the pilot has a greater chance of getting fucked up if the thing goes over and can only push the thing as fast as the swinger allows. He's hardly going to ride it like a fukwit in the hope of unsettling the chair just to put the shits up someone.

Dead Right, when did you become such an expert :lol:

Some short, old cunt was telling me about it on the weekend. It's the only comprehensible sentence he strung together in the whole three days.

[Riff Raff]

I was asked the other night if I was interested in being the swinger on an outfit for Wanganui on boxing day. I was soooooooo tempted, but if I came off it would fuck up getting my paramedic qualification that I've been studying for for 2 years. If it had been 2 months further down the track there would have been no hesitation on my part. I'm still buzzing from my experience - poor WT is sick of hearing about it.

You'd need three signings on a MNZ race licence to be able to do it, although it's probably not a very hard circuit to swing on and it's probably no bumpier than Puke

One of the guys swinging at Puke has broken ribs from the big bump on the front straight where you turn in

Who's outfit were you asked to swing on?

[Biff]

Me, Me, Me.

Kickaha - you've been promising me a go for ages now.

Where n when me ole china?

You'd be about as good as that soft cunt Dangerous, where as Riff Raff was awesome (I have to say that if I want accomodation next year for Puke)


When I can organise it Biff, no idea when it will be though

[Riff Raff]

where as Riff Raff was awesome
Why thank you - but do you think you should be telling everyone that??:yeah: Oh you mean as a swinger...? Err that doesn't sound any better, does it? :confused:
