Loan sidecar available for Cemetery Circuit

**sidecar bob** · 19th August 2012, 16:00

I have been speaking with Chris Lawrence (Racer 40) this arvo & he has asked me to post up the following.
He has avaliable to use at the Cemetary Circuit, an old CBR1000 powered short (front engined) sidecar.
This was going to be ridden by Nodrog off here, but of course he has a splendid & fully functioning ZX10 outfit of his own now.
Anyone wishing to use this outfit will need a full senior MNZ licence, with three or more stamps & will need to pay for entry & enter the event themselves.
The machine will be transported to the track, so if you are racing a solo there, it wont be a lot of extra effort to join the sidecar guys for the day.
The outfit is for sale for $3000, so if you really like it, you can take it home!!
P.M Chris or I if interested.
Cheers,
Steve.

I would assume this is a "You fuck it, you fix it" kind of deal?

Its of pretty industrial construction, & it would be fair to inform prospective punters at this point that you will be quite unlikely to win the event on it. But yeah, I guess good manners apply, probably a bit of cash, rather than actually take it home & fix it would be more apropriate if it gets broken.

Its had a big tidy up recently, & im not sure how to post photos up.
Maybe Nodrog could put some up of him riding it a few months back, although it looks a lot better now.

If we can finance it, Alan and I will have our hands way up.

I guess if someone stumps up $3000 & buys it before Christmas, they will have first option to ride it.

Fully functioning may not quite be the right terminology bro. These are the only photos i have of the said machine,

it is the best modern short bike I have ever ridden.

Mr Lawrence has informed me that it now wears brand new F2 bodywork, so I suspect it will now look something like this

Somebody really should just buy it, its a bargin, it is a complete working sidecar (already assembled) for the same amount as what my engine cost me.

It should be pointed out that while this is the best modern sidecar that Nodrog has ridden, it is coincedentally also the only one he has ridden to date.
Chin up Gordy, your outfit will be better than this one & then this one will be the second best you have ever ridden.
The bottom pic of #4 is now the pink #28 bike that Tracey & Jo ride & is safely tucked away in my garage.

I still reckon I would whip you and Scrivy on it. Thats why Scrivy decided to commentate the last race, he knew too.
