they wouldn't have heard of either of those words down south, the first could be recognised as 'knocked up' the second is pretty well unknown...

We’d removed the engine to give it a freshen up before Wanganui and nationals so we had to swap a few bits over between them before putting the stock motor in for this meeting and were waiting on some parts from the engineer so we could replace the drive pins and fit longer rear arms for the bigger diameter Avon rear tyres.
We were planning on sorting most of it on the Monday before the event, the first problem was we thought we could remove the modified selector shaft without taking the clutch out and we were wrong and we didn’t have a clutch holding tool on site, second problem was the engineer drove his tool post into his lathe chuck and was having to repair it before making our parts.
With Dave having a few late nights at works as well all of a sudden our time frame was reduced from having a week to do this to having one day.
I’d taken the Friday off as we’d originally planned to test that afternoon and scrub in some brakes and tyres but 5.30 on the Thursday I was just picking up the first of two lots of bits from the engineer.
Friday morning I shoot out to Dave’s with a clutch holding tool and start on it, clutch out, selector shaft out, swap the stock engine onto the bench and start swapping bits over, we’ve had the selector shaft circlip pop off before so once it’s in I give the shaft a bit of a pull and it all seems sweet.
Putting the windage tray on and I drop a spacer inside the engine, 60 minutes later I still can’t get it out, the engine had been upside down, right way up, sideways and although I can hear it rattling round inside it won’t fall out to where I can get it.
I get a call from the engineer telling me the rear arms are ready so decide to shoot off and pick them up and get my bendy magnet tool thing tool to try and dig the spacer out at the same time.
I make it home and grab the tool just in time to get a call from the engineer saying he just realised he threaded the arms for the incorrect size rose joints and they won’t be ready until later.
Another 30 minutes shaking and probing the engine and finally the spacer emerges, I get everything swapped over just the clutch side cover to go on and it’ll be sweet.
Another trip home to pick up the van and swing past the engineer to get the rear arms and back to the shed, Dave has the engine sitting beside the Sidecar ready to go in when I arrive and we lift it in and start bolting and attaching stuff.
New arms in, throttle bodies and airbox on, hook up all the plugs, fit the exhaust which is where we run into another problem, we were getting some new exhaust collars made for the slip fit exhaust into the head which couldn’t be done in time so I used some tube but once tightened up it made the exhaust sit to high so I smack those off and refit the old set.
Shorten the chain to make up for the one tooth down front sprocket and go to fire it up and it won’t start, find the earth lead we need still on the old motor and one plug I’d missed and it cranks into life, pulls peak revs and immediately gets shut down.
Throttle assembly gets pulled to bits cleaned up and lubed and cable inserted back into the proper place and it’s all good
Finally I pull out Dave’s driveway just after 11pm
I pick up some gas on the way to the track and get there just before 8am, unload and get set up, gas it up, tyre pressures checked and good to go, Grant turns up having picked up some R clips for us on the way
As we’d be scrubbing in the tyres and brakes we were going to be taking it a bit easy but after one it won’t select gears and I know the circlip has come off again, strange how you can pull the selector shaft sidecar while it’s on the bench and it won’t look like moving but one lap of the track and it pops off
With everything turning to crap throughout the week I’m about ready to pack it up and go home but after the support from the sponsors and the work put in by Dave hook into fixing it
We get it up on the stands and I start pulling the sump and windage tray off and sure enough the circlip and washer are sitting in the bottom of it
The Bucket support crew turn up to offer advice n take the piss as I piece it back together, it’s back on the ground ready to go before race 1 is called
Race 1
Lights out and Alex/Glen are lighting up the rear in front of us and Graeme/Colin have it nailed, we’re taking it bit easy due to the new brakes and tyres and after a couple of laps with Alex/Glen and Graeme/Colin having pulled away we slow up to let Pig/Goober catch up,Once they’re past we tuck in behind and follow them for a lap getting alongside and nearly running in to the back of them a couple of times, coming out of the sweeper I get a run on them down into T1 and get back in front
I start going a bit harder and they don’t come back at me and it’s not until the race has finished I find out they got a bit tired and pulled out of the race
We do a best lap 1.56.487 and the fastest for the race is Alex/Glen at 151.047
We do a spanner check in between races and adjust the chain
Race 2
We line up behind Alex again, I’m expecting him to light up the rear again and when he does I pull out right shortshift into second and pull out past him, Graeme/Colin have the hammer down and lead into T1
Alex/Glen go up the inside into the hairpin and we pass them on the way out, we swap places a couple of times until Alex decides Graeme is getting too big a lead and goes out after him
We push a bit harder but can’t keep up Pig/Goober have managed a lap more than last time before fatigue gets the better of them and they have to stop for a break
Best lap 1.55.164, Alex/Glen fastest again at 148.018
We get it back up on the stands and bleed the brakes as they feel a bit soft, can’t get the pedal up as hard as I think it should be but each time we go out the brakes seem to be getting better
Race 3
Alex decides to start off the back and I get an even better start this time out
Alex/Glen are having a bit of a play passing us and letting us back in front but once he puts the hammer down we can’t stay with him and get a bit untidy couple of times pushing a bit hard, we’ve left Graeme/Colin and Goober/Pig behind and run in second behind Alex/Glen
Best lap 01:53.772, Alex/Glen 01:48.879
Every time we go out things are better and we’re getting faster, we’ve still got a few things to change which should lead to further improvements which we will try before going to Wanganui in December

Come time some time and you can have a turn on the side, I promise I'll be gentle with you
