Sidecar Racing

[Fast Eddie]

I hope Kais bike isn't too fooked....

same! Nev Mickleson took it home and said he was going to look at it for me. Again, blown away by the generosity of everyone in the sidecar world, its f*cking awesome! loved every second of it and can't wait for the next one. Thanks again to everyone that helped me and the agip bike team get up there and race. Really really appreciated (you all know who you are )

Fuck he's hard on gear

yea.. oops!

Um... I'm picking Darren Pate will be along here soon, to explain what caused his fairing damage - off the racetrack......
Muntage......

What did the Paté do to his bike?

Kais quote of the weekend.......'Man I'm loving these left handers....'

haha, I was thinking about that after I tipped my bike over, thought I had the 2 lefts sussed. good corners, great track, mint people. fooking awesome weekend! can't wait to get back out there!

Kai will put up the video, it's a good one

hehe, will chuck it up soon

Does it come with sound can't wait to get out there and join in and thanks for the dvd yesterday Kai.

No worries, thanks heaps for the race gas and all the offers of help/accomodation/transport etc etc - much appreciated aye, also for having a quick going over of our wiring - bike ran on 4 cyls again in the last race but still dropped one every now and again.. but thats the least of its problems at the moment! - can't wait for the next race and will be good to see you out there soon too!

Amazing weekend .. locked up front and rear going into the barrel and round she came !! thought it was going over but the 8mm thick glass fibre held strong and Henk hoped back on to do some solid swinging in shit conditions..Cheers every body for helping out and giving us good advice, our times dropped every race and chasing sponge bob down in the last race we dropped 3sec doing a 1"29sec..Cheers to Brian for swinging on the Monday top effort mate..

was such an epic weekend! what a blast!

the coil earths etc are under some bolts on a plate that also supports the verticle handlebar shaft. this plate is now loose, not sure whether it's the result of the crash or not, and as a result your earths are loose too.
Anyway this is a poor place to put an earth under a bolt that could work loose and is likely the cause of your issue.

Earths were tight before he went out had checked them. Bike could do with a rewire found the fuel pump wire had been rubbing on something and were a couple of wires floating around going nowhere. Alot of race vehicles come through our workshop like this when they've passed through a few owners. I think Kai's passenger is going to rectify the wiring on it.

Yea they were tight, but still a poor place for earths, definitely needs a rewire.. Phil may do it.. could have a crack myself too.. needs to be done a.s.a.p

Chur, yea it is a poor earth spot, must change it and rewire the bike.. its a mess, also found that I was getting a shock from touching the cyl no. 3 ht lead.
yea plates prob loose after crash, steering might have had a bit of a knock when I hit the wall..

Thanks for the footage. Yip, that corner scared me. The run off is not enough for the angle of the corner. If you hit the grass and slide (which is always the case) then you are going to hit the wall at the end where there is no sand trap.
Friggin dangerous. You wouldn't have hit the wall and spun if there was enough kitty litter there.

That will buff right out

haha.. I hope so

Chur! meh fuck it.. if I knew how to ride I might have saved it looking at the footage I so nearly made it through that corner.. neeaarly.

Still dunno what exactly went on, in the last couple secs its like the chair lifts up, back slides a little and then next thing its on the grass through the sand and into the wall..

oh well! should be repairable, Jo's Dad is continuing the amazing Northern Hospitality and dragged my bike to his and said he will look at it for me and email me an update sometime soon..

you guys are brilliant, when it comes nationals time make sure you cash in the return favours from me - I'll do anything I can to help yas out down south. Accom, Transport, Storeage, Girls..err.. wait
