Hopefully the reliability comes up with the numbers this time. The fact the poor little engines are dragging a heap of extra weight around as well as being thrashed to within an inch of their lives can't help. They are usually also a bit of a side project for solo riders up to now and running two classes you don't get that much time to fiddle in the pits when it all goes a bit wrong. Running three classes gets way too hard which is why I passed my F5 onto a mate to ride.

Bugger, really wanted to see how that beast was put together. So absolutely no chance of making it? Two hours work... Maybe tomorrow things might look a bit brighter.
I have been running my rig most nights this week to make sure everything that could go wrong has been sorted, well as sorted as you can get these things.
So as well as Henk and Rick we should still be seeing Chris and son on their new chair plus the return of Warren, repowered and good to go, fingers crossed we all make it to the endurance at the end of he day.

You still coming up for the weekend though? my rider may not be avaliable so may need a ring in. The beast lives again finally, probably losing a few horsepower now. Keen to know more about your watercooled motor.

He will be there. Still has to show off other toys...
And someone needs to mix the Burbons (normaly the first round is taken care of by first crasher)..

don't think pre-meeting crashes count for first round....

But I'm sure there will be lots of jibes all weekend.

Let the road trip begin..

Bitterly disappointed for this round,

but am still coming up by plane, so if anyone needs an ex national champion swinger, just sing out! See you all tomorrow, and will be good to put faces to names!

PS: Can throw in my hand to piloting a sidecar too, if that is of interest to anyone, just need a lap or two to get back into it!

**Gazzza** · 23rd November 2012, 17:01

Well Seymour you are most welcome to jump on the side during one of the practice runs. Might be able to squeeze in a lap piloting if your keen and if time permits

Couple of photos of team GPR at Mt. Wellington, awesome weather, awesome fun.

PS Crazyman, the sidecar steering adapter is on the smoko table, try not to flip the bloody thing in your excitement!

And if your going to flip it make sure there's a camera around so we can all see it and score it
