I was speaking with a Canadian sidecar racer at the classic festival in Feburary, & he said that Lind & Hart came back to the USA after that series & said to him, we were beaten by a bike without a faring!
That machine is the older sister ship to Fast Eddie's Agip outfit.

Gargling is where the money's at!

Ta, I was wondering about that

[jellywrestler]

Maybe were talking about two different outfits.
Apparently Shelbourne owners phoned the factory a year or so back for some advice or parts & when they told the guy at the factory what was in it now, he hung up the phone.
Recently I had reason to call Dave Molyneaux, 16 times IOM TT winner & the builder & of our pink bike that he won the '96 TT on.
The first question he asked was, "what engine does it run now" I said "same as it was built with". Only then, it seemed, was he happy to advise me on certain aspects of the bike.
I fully agree with you Spyda, many a great sidecar has been ruined with a repower.
Do you think Kevin Wendt's 1327 methanol injected GSX outfit was slower than it is now with a GSXR1100w engine in it?
I dont think so!!!
I'll dig up the clip of that weapon shortly.

I'm talking of the outfit Colin Buckley bought into the country, with an FZR1000cc Yamaha in it, not a gsxr1000

Yeah, all the time, but its kinda like a pitbull thats had its nuts chopped off. It will make you sad after watching that.

More like a vasectomy.........

Yeah, I guess it kinda shoots blanks now.
Better than the lot of most of the other ones in that race though, chopped up & left to rust in a field.

unlike this one

Is it still in Kippens shed? Why doesn't he sell it?

I remember when I first started racing sidecars, I would just stand and look in awe at how awesome that machine was!
It truely was an impressive machine at the time. Still brings back great memories!!

unlike this one

That was the best sidecar in NZ in '88.
The presentation was beyond anything I had ever seen.
I remember Andy flipping it at the Taihape Gumboot GP about mid '89 i think.
We got seriously on the piss & other stuff, in a tiny upstairs room at the Royal Hotel. on the corner in Taihape afterwards.
There was about 15 of us stuffed into this room the size of a shoe box.
I dismantled the stereo out of my Morris van & reassembled it in the room, battery & all!!
Ahh, great times.

that still looks sweet even today (to me haha)

Simply because he doesn't want to see it barstardised like every other original sidecar that people put their heart and soul into was... you know a GSXR1000 put into it etc. It's taken a fair bit of stress over it's life and the reality is most of it's components are at the end of their days and who really wants to be on it when that day comes along as some parts can be checked others will just let go without warning.


Actually the reason It's been photographed is we were looking at getting it out for the 60th at the Cemetery Circuit for the legends parade, it appears however it's invite only and we don't seem to qualify for it despite 19 wins on the track and it being a Wanganui built machine!

Was it built by Steve Roberts?
