Sidecar Racing

[nodrog:Me]

I went around to Gordys last night & gave his outfit a start up, it is bloody awesome.
He hasnt "fixed it up", he hasnt "made it go" he has absolutely fully restored it to back to better than new from the ground up!!!
The virtually finished product is as good a quality build as you will see, & is a credit to obsessive compulsive people everywhere with diabeties!!!
Bloody well done mate!

I think you are embelishing a bit there, all I did was put it back together with less retardation. And I really cant be fucked having to fix stupid shit at a race meeting.

good work gordy.. some pics would be decent.

will it be at paeroa and the last 2 rounds of nats then?

I'll post pics when you post some of the trailer incident. I'll take it to the nats, but I probably wont do pie roar. While I'm quite confident I could punt it around there, it would be self centered and foolish of me to compete in my first ever modern sidecar race at a street circuit. I dont mind hurting myself, but I have a passenger and spectators to think of. Theres not any containers at paeroa to soften the impact.

WTF?? You calling him inadequit?? The poor prick....... bitch slap.....

You got the number for mans refuge?

couple more snaps, one there of the tshirt Mo Haley gave me and I got him to sign.. recognise the bike on the shirt? 88 Champs.. cool shirt, straight to the pool room wall.

You're a hard man kai, making a 120 year old cancer patient do your spannering. And WTF is phil doing in the last pic?

I was getting sick of waiting for this one to be built :/ Still keen au! (But have never ridden one... may not like it, I'm picking I will... ) Bring it to Poser day and we go for a blat



He's like Gollum with the ring...

Are you allowed sidecars at superbike simons trackday? I dont know anything about it, I'm not on facebook.

..And I really cant be fucked having to fix stupid shit at a race meeting.

you sure? fills in the day..

I'll post pics when you post some of the trailer incident.

I never took photos of it.. Pumba might..

I'll take it to the nats..

Choice, and what about Drew.. will he be at Nats.. his build has been awfully quiet, how long does it take to make a sump?

also made him push start the bike with me and phil on when battery went flat.. Mo's a trooper, what a legend.
nah he was keen as to fuck around on the bike, straight into it.

And WTF is phil doing in the last pic?

thats called swinging gordy..

Shall we guess a fastest lap time at Timaru this weekend?
I reckon a 1:15.008

Well the Pirate has done a 1.15 there before but last time Spike was there on the same bike as now he was running around 1.24 but you'd expect him to be faster now
Best lap I can find for Grant is about 1.19 although I was sure he'd gone quicker than that

They should be there practicing now anyway? I'll text up old Grant.. he has a datalogger and onboard timing shit on his bike.

[Fast Eddie]

Grant and Matt on the Windle only did one testing session this morning apparently and thats all they wanted to do. Wouldn't say about lap times..

So they must feel ready.. or are running out of tyres!

[Fast Eddie]

sweet, new brake pads fitted, new brake line fitted, good caliper on the front and new high temp fluid through out.



along with new tie rods and rose joints for side and front wheel, new through bolt for sidechair hub and lots of new screws nuts and bolts to replace worn shit and a good check over, it looks like the bike is good to go for this weekend

see how it feels tomorrow..

[Drew]

Choice, and what about Drew.. will he be at Nats.. his build has been awfully quiet, how long does it take to make a sump?

Pfft, sump is done, we're doing the same thing Gordy has done, for the same reason.

Undoing retarded mods from the past, and avoiding having everyone at the track trying to fix the chair for us.

[Drew]

see how it feels tomorrow..

If you can change gear...

[Fast Eddie]

...avoiding having everyone at the track trying to fix the chair for us.

no one would want to help you anyway...

If you can change gear...

yea.. Phil ran it up to operating temp and managed to get through all the gears.. See how it goes on the track, can't use clutch much even if I wanted to. Fingers still being a c*nt

[Kickaha]

Well it seems timing has turned to crap at levels but Grant/Matt did a 1.16 no idea how anyone else went in P1 though

Dunno where Burts got to, maybe he went for a pie and didn't get back in time

For your reference Noddyrog Scurvy and Sidecarblob do about 1.12 (I think)

Some of Spikes laps were as fast as anyones but those first few laps where him and Grant were held up behind Graeme really cost them

I work the points out after 4 races at
Spike 91
Pirate 85
Grant 68

Fantastic to see Grant/Matt get a win in the last race today and Max gets to shout beer
