Sidecar 'have-a-go-day' (19 October 2008)

[sidecar bob]

We are happy with the engine top end - will still do a comp test and valve timing, but we are refreshing the box - it gets a hammering as you could imagine! Will look at clutch also.
The brakes get pulled apart and re-sealed. New chain, new rubber, check all wiring, wheel/stearing head bearings, check oil scavenger pump, check , new battery, fix up fibreglass, new exhaust brackets fitted, etc etc..... not alot of engine stuff, just checking everything in general. DNF's are a bastard............

The main reason for all of that apart from not having DNF's is safety.
80 percent of sidecar crashes are caused by a lack of preventitive maintenance & when youre going that hard you need to know everything is A1.
Fortunately i am a garage proprietor with all the gear & most of the ability to do the work in house. But i never assemble anything important without Scrivy helping, That way he can see for himself that all is sweet & he can go absolutely dog without fear of bits falling off, I rekon that alone is worth a second a lap, Agree Scrivy?

Theres a reason Scrivy is the driver and Sidecar Bob is the swinger

Yeah it's because Scrivy is to fucking soft to be a swinger he'd have to HTFU a awful long way

Thanks for the hospitality although me and Divvo were pretty disappointed the slappers didn't show like you'd promised so you'd better sort that out for next year when we drag Pig and Goober along

I went out with Steve Bron on the green LCR and the White/Orange Anderson bike, it was quite a interesting comparison to Divvos outfit

I would have gone out with Scrivy but he doesn't ride hard enough and I'd probably go to sleep on the back

[sidecar bob]

wasnt the 'i loved that could we go again' a hint that you could speed it up a little?????

Mate, Deano' & 'Fruit are in agony today, Is that what you really wanted?

About half way in between don't get me wrong here, i loved it and will deff. be back for a shit load more later....

Fookin neow!

Does cracking your swinger's rib count as assault?

Dunno but a smack in the chops definitely does.

WOOF WOOF!!!!

Heh.

It's Lamb Chop's play-along, where kids come to play along, and fun things are all we ever do...

You know why the slappers didn't show. 'Cause I'd told them that you were too soft to go hard and fast!! (Also 'cause Vicki came home a day early )
You know I told you that I didn't want to take you out afterall, 'cause the rider had to shout the slab when his passenger fell off!! I knew you'd bite the bitumen, and I didn't want to waste me money!! Better biting the bitumen than the pillow though eh Kick?!
Hey Kick, you left your undies in my daughters bed!! She found some crusty ones in there. I knew they were yours, 'cause they had skidmarks all through them!!

[Kickaha]

Hey Kick, you left your undies in my daughters bed!!

Thats not all I left I'd burn those sheets if I was you

[scrivy]

Thank god she's too young to get pregnant!!!!

They amount of monkey spank found in the sheets would be enough to start a small glue factory!!
You did have a lot of time on your hands eh!!

[Kickaha]

You did have a lot of time on your hands eh!!

I had a lot of something on my hands but I don't think it was time

[McDuck]

Theres a reason Scrivy is the driver and Sidecar Bob is the swinger, you should have gone with Scrivy, then you'd still be knackered, look at me and Kiwifruit. I've got a lot of respect now for the fitness of a swinger to do a couple of long races in a day, let alone a weekend!!!

there is also the bit where i have a dodgy wrist which can be rather painful to the point of stoping writing let alone biking which is why i told side car bob (who i know and trust) to take it easy. but next time when i have confidence in my wrist scrivy....... (i had hurt my wrist about a week before hand FYI)

Just dropping a line in to say thanks to all the guys and gals for yet another great 'have a go day'. Mostly to Scrivy though for my first outing of the day. Nearly every left hander was exited with rear spinning, opposite lock and the chair in the air! That was certainly the quickest I've gone round on a chair (been for four years now). Leg bruised and forearms still recovering - Bliss, couldn't be happier. I reckon the new track would be good to have a crack on. It would be a lot more work and you'd probably have to go a bit easier to make sure the passenger could over for each turn, but I'm sure it would be cool. Hangin' for next year now, cheers folks.............
