You didn't pay him to do the work? Fucken JEW!
He was having a very bad weekend. Thing wouldn't run on four because a female pin plug had come away from the ECU connector. Did one session on it was slow as fuck for a wanked motor. Then went to go out on Sunday arvo and it wouldn't run at all.
Felt so bad for Darrin, poor bastard worked all day every day on the thing and barely saw the track.

Well the Barry Sheene was an awesome learning curve, i had 3 goals in mind for my first ever race weekend (and the 1st time rding a long chair), the 1st was to actually finish every race, the 2nd was not to come last and the 3rd so to set a time in the mid 1.20.
My first ride on the sidecar was on the friday and due to a few issues (me being twice the size of the previous rider) we only managed about 3 complete laps all day as we were trying to to work out the correct lines and how to change the set up.
On saturday morning we decided that we had to respring the front end to get the bike steering correctly as with my extra weight the front was riding to low and binding up the steering, once the change was made it felt like a different bike so we went out for qualifying, and managed to set a blistering 1.39.5 putting us last on the gridwhich is pretty much what i was expecting, we made a few changes for race 1 and managed to drop 8 secs and record a 1.31.4 and we didn't come last
Sunday dawned and we were feeling pretty good about the progress that we had made the day before, we lined up for race 2 having moved a couple of spots up the grid (due to rolling grids and a couple of dnfs the day before) again we didn't come last and mangaged to drop our time further to a 1.29.4, race two we had to start from pit lane along with 5 others due to not hearing the call over the PA system but still managed to drop another couple of secs down to a 1.27 flat and race 3 was about the same.
So we still have a long way to go and really need to work on getting better lines and braking later but all in all we were happy with the progress that we made over the weekend droping a total of 12.5 secs a lap and achieving all 3 goals that we set for ourselves.
Looking forward to the next one and hoping we can make more steps forward.
Thanks everyone for all your tips and advice over the weekend it really helped.

Just a quick buff up and she'll be good as new, plus a brake leverI reckon I came off worse
I didn't get too excited over Bathurst, was on way back to watch MotoGP live![]()
