    Sidecars?

    I reckon the humble FXR could save another class from extinction.
    Clever guys could turn them into something like these ( Crazy man ? )
    I would be keen if they could be easily detached and ridden solo afterwards.

    :
    I reckon a gentleman's agreement about all running loncins would make building one quite attractive. It'd be alot of work to build one and not having to worry about putting 'full factory' engine work in would make it easier. I'm not talking a rule change, just an understanding between mates until the class is bigger. Just a thought.

    Bit late for that gentlemans agreement I'm afraid. Brenton's rig runs a TF motor, Mikes old rig which should be back next month has a water cooled 100 in it and Chris Lawrence has been talking to Brenton about building him a rig to take an FXR motor. If our Luncheon ends up outgunned in the engine room and we can't make up the difference through a lack of talent and stupidity we have a back up plan.
    The class does seem to be growing though, hopefully it continues to.

    Well I have te blue rig sorted, should be a bit closer next meet. As for the new build Hoping to get the frame all but done and engine mounts finished this weekend, all going well the new rig should be a go in a couple of months. it will be set up for an FXR engine, at least the swinger won't have to push this one...

    Why is it that every time I do something, even once, people seem to think I've taken it up as some sort of hobby?
