The return of Bucket Sidecars!

Henk you were a born swinger mate. I hope my 20 second brief on were to hang and which way to go did the trick. Might not make tomorrow, bikes need a bit of work. I have a new engine on the bench for the blue rig (well an old engine but more reliable) so will do a swap. White rig just needs a small bit of work on the front, wont have a front brake but we didnt use it today anyway.
Just to let every one know me and Cam were really gratefull for all the nice comments from everyone. And a very big thanks to Squiggles for giving us a run even after filpping, and another very big thanks to John Conner for the time on the track and again making it worth while.
Cheers. B.

I dont know if any one noticed but I had a secret weapon, no one can pass you when you lay down a smoke screen, sorry Henk I think you also copped the smoke... Mind you that was before part of the exhaust fell off, and the catch bottle, and the screws holding the paneling, and the font brake, and other various bits and bobs. Sorry to Pumba, he did great considering he got no instructions... although that could explain the odd leaning style on number two picture.

I'd do that again anytime, might want to come up with some way to communicate

1. I'm shattered
2. Bits of the bike are falling off
3. I'm a heavy smoker but this is getting silly.

I so want to go and build one now. You may have started something big.

NO. Unless your parents are keen on you moving back home, and that way I'll have some room in the garage for my new bikes. Then again, I guess they're off for a while soon, so you could move back there and your mum won't kick you out when they get back.

I think that sums up why we need some bracing

Anyone catch a pic of the flip?

We wont be there tomorrow but will hopefully come to race next month

Hey guy's thanks for the go on sidecar today( the white one) had a blast, def keen on another go, Was awesome, but as Henk said, way harder than getting a bucket around! Still grinning just thinking about it.

I was the swinger on this one back in the day. Ended up being more work than fun in the end though.

**sidwyz** · 19th June 2010, 23:06

Yeah hard work for sure,
problem I had was trying to work out how to position myself to be able switch back to the left without getting my feet too tangled up,

may have had a chance if I had more than 5 seconds to look at it before rolling on to the track, never mind still great fun!!

hang your feet off the back and roll from side to side on your knees
