One long flat power curve.
Much like the the Kooistra Hondas they only resemble the origional design, on the outside.

Can't remember. I'm over there at the mo running a couple of gsx1100's.
The Vincent looks bloody fast in the flesh too.
Tim Reeves had a go on it at Phillip Island in February & gave them a few chassis setup tips which they acted on.
To be fair, Beau Beaton is a freak on two & three wheels & while it's a beautiful piece of work, it's being ridden extremely hard too.
The last sidecar race got red flagged when sidecar 300 set the rear brake on fire which spread to the bodywork.
They pulled in on the exit of three & tried to signal to Pocahontas. It was quite a blaze for a minute.

Sidecar racing. Bickering is the same the world over.
This shit is pure gold

...other racing plans I hope?...

After seeing how Beau Beaton went on the only sidecar he ever rode, I'd say a competitive solo racer would be a fairly hard charger on any sidecar, even if he has short mans syndrome.

May passenger on the AGIP if someone agrees to ride it, maybe some more Buckets or just more trail rides

Well, if anyone is still interested in sidecars...
This is the engine from the ex George White/Steve Gourdie outfit from the 80's. It's being revived with a view to parading at this years SCF.
Just completed the engine. Someone else is doing the rest. Northerners will remember this outfit as being an annoyingly quick SI local at Nationals.
It ran on big jolts of Nitro at the time. Petrol is in it's future now.
Basically a CB500 four. The four "C"s are done.
Capacity - shall we say, not far short of 700cc...Looks like 750 sleeves with oversize flattops of unknown origin.
Compression - Um, bloody high.
Cam - not marked but I think it's the old Yosh R & T grind from kelford. For 750's so big in a smaller engine.
Carbs - Bigger than stock. I think they may be 750 bodies in the 500 rack.
Jelly removed from the sump - castor oil...Rings unstuck, valves lapped and new seals. Bores deglazed. Years of baked on castor removed
It's exactly as received. No "tuning" No cosmetic improvements. Just clean.

Yeah in fact I'm riding the AGIP at Levels tomorrow, got a couple of Northern visitors but they were too big a pair of pussies to bring a sidecar with them
Be interesting to see that bike run again, last time I saw it go it only did the length of the Ruapuna straight

...we are very close to having ours on the test runs soon...dunno how it's gonna go...

have you got a will sorted?

Will was Kick's passenger - but I think Dennis broke him.
Neil will have to find another Will...
