    they couldn't do it either. 140mm does not mean 100mm !!! wtf! I even gave them the first stickers and told them they had to be bigger, they are not noticeably bigger - and seems to be a no refunds type of game sign writing, if I want another go I gotta pay again.. fuck em! paid twice now to two diff signwriters I shan't do it a third time.

    i
    so surely on your order sheet you wrote down the measurements or the signwriter did in front of you? how then can it go wrong and why did you even hand over said money?

    Ha ha ha, naaaa, I'm only about 70 kg in full kit. Right, I'll bring a case of Heiniken.

    70kg? you'll probably need to use the Heiniken for ballast

    What?!? Naaaa, lighter weight = better acceleration. Way better than lugging around some huge 100kg oaf around.

    I've never swung on a proper sidecar at a proper track, Hamster will be my first time, but 8 laps on the bucket chair round a kart track leaves me more crippled that a 30 lap race on the bucket. I can easily believe that I'm going to be crying like a girl after the first practice labour weekend.
    Stock is best

    I've had a swing or two on Sidecars and the hardest by far was on a bucket...

    First time swinging, my bro and I went out for a practice. Come back in after an out lap, flying lap, and the in lap because the front tyre was flat, (I didn't kick it hard enough as a pressure check Scriv), and Jimmy says. "That was good bro, was that six or seven laps"?
