    Any who I jumped on the bright green t120 triumph sidechair, number 20?, riders name was adrien. During the second session of the drivers taking spectators for rides. It was so much fun. I would love to do it again. I am very keen to go back to "have a go day" next weekend as well.

    If anyone wants a novice swinger..
    It was a very cool weekend. I had a training wheel on my motorcycle so the lack of grip wasnt too bad.

    you want to be a swinger?!!! Are you right in the head?

    Bender (306) enjoyed himself.
    The sidecar parade at the end of the day taking out guest crew was a good idea and one I hope the NZCMRR repeat.

    Ok I won't be going to taupo this weekend. I have been "convinced" that racing my honda at manfield this weekend is a better idea..
