Sidecar Racing

15.. Blow jobs?

No idea, I've never raced it cause it has a faulty motor. Chassis feels nice on the few laps I have done. It should really have a 600 in it and is a project bike really. It's a Windle F2 with interesting history. 5th/6th at the IOMTT in the late 90s I think, got some history written down somewhere.

Other bike is a Mo Haley built shorty.. Could go on all day 'bout it but others on here know it better. 3rd at Bathurst, NZ champ, built in the 80s. Heaps of fun to ride.

What's the prob with the thou in the windle ?

Not sure yet, just cuts out after a few laps, sometimes it starts to run rough then slowly dies other times its just died randomly after a few good laps. have swapped a lot of parts over and checked out loom as much as possible to try fix it. Might be able to try Kicks cam and crank angle sensors soon.. After that not too sure what its problem might be.

Sell the Agip bike, and buy an entire wrecked R1. That way you will get everything you need to get it sorted, and have a spare motor.

Plus you should end up with some cash to race with for a while...

Or I'll give you $5000 for the Windle, and you can console your enormous loss by going out and riding lots.

Found this when looking for some other stuff on the net and thought some here maybe interested.

Mmm.. it is an option (first I'd have to actually sell the agip bike, no doubt easier said then done) that I have thought about but nah.. I don't even like the R1 motor, certainly not that generation one (if it ran) so I don't want 2 of them.. I think if I'm going to keep it then eventually it will have to have an engine swap to older GSXR1000 or a new 600.. One thing I learnt quickly for me after buying the windle is racing is a lot more fun for me if its cheap as possible.. everyone wants to win sure, but when you can only eat 2 min noodles and can't go out etc cause all your money is pouring into the bike (and its still no where near enough money that is required) then I lose interest veeery quickly. Motor is also not even properly mounted in the chassis, its on the piss.. among other things. Never mind, live and learn.

Haha.. for 5 grand I'll polish and paint it and just put it inside as a piece of art - paintings of naked fat women sell for more..

Anyways - I'm in no rush for anything, If I don't race either bike for a while then the bank will slowly fill up again and maybe in a year-ish I can get back into it.. (and yes, the problem with letting things sit for years is that you then get to pour even more money into them to get em going again! so don't remind me )

You can leave the Windle in my shed and I'll look after it while you are away .

As in, everything to make a chair run? If one were to throw out a heavy lump that might not be running right because of electrical gremlins.

If he ever got it back at least it'd be nice and shiny

Haha better than Drews offer at least Is the 05 R1 identical to 03 as far as engine mounts go? Otherwise no point - too much fabrication for me to do atm and if i was gna do a swap id try 600cc

Anyways they can sit in the shed for now..

Wouldn't matter if they were different, the lump that's in there needs mounting properly anyway...the plonker that put it in there got it pissed. Good chance to put that right

yea.. that is true... I don't have the skill set yet to do it myself and don't fancy trying it on, what was, a good windle chassis.

I think I'm gonna sell the c*nt and keep the agip bike, its a fun bike to ride and suits my budget, think Ella is gonna start swinging maybe - Phil is increasingly busy with his business and family commitments..

Probably a good call. A few hundred posts ago you displayed a real passion for the Agip bike which IMO needs to carry on. You've done so much to it to return it to it's former glory and it would be a shame to just let that go, but then I could be called a bit of a soft cock when it comes to that sort of thing (bit of an opening there for you Scrivy )...after all I've been racing the Matchy for 26 years now. Sooner or latter there'll be a pre '89 or postie class Agip will be eligible for and you'll be in. How old is it? Just needs someone to get stuck in and organise such a class....anyone you know? Good that Ella is keen...we need another nice arse on a chair

it's main rival in the day is still as last raced not far from here, it'll see the light of day sooner rather than later....
probably not in race mode but once it's out there.
not sure with a wheelie like this whther it would be banned from Paeroa...
