There's lots of sidecar teams that have won around Wanganui...... do you know of any that have been 'invited'?

Looks like it was an awsome machine, is it an all alloy frame? As Chris said i've brought the CBR1000 sidecar, looking forward to running it next year, hopefully we won't be too much of a mobile chicane on it. Rick and Henk brought my previous bucket sidecar from me and Henk still hasn't shouted from when he fell off it, mind you just before he fell off i think he was laughing that they had just passed me on my new one which had died.

He did shout, but you probably didn't turn up the next day.
