I distinctly remember us keepung the same line around the right hander at taupo even though you were on the left hand side of the machine. Long bike passengers are poofters. .... Hover my arse!!

I'll have you know, that other than the time I was trying to fall over the top of the radiator, I was being dragged directly behind the thing on that right hand bend.

So not on the left, or the right really.

As much as beer you would have had to sponsor was appealing, fuck if I was gonna fall off the first time I ever swung on a Sidecar.

We got some hover through the sweaper and hairpin I think.

Well we had the rear wheel off the ground around the right hander.......

Oh that counts twice or the judges need an arsenal tucking!

Funny thing, that was the second time in my racing career I've been worried about the bike I was on, running me over.

That wasn't hover we got Drew - it's called chair lift or two pointing...... it's what short bikes do, as opposed to "Hover" done by stupidly expensive long machines.... when they get 2 inches off the ground.......

See, the first time you ever swung on a chair............... did you have 3 stamps??? From memory, we also won the "Demonstration Race"....
I'll say it again... LEGEND!

Did your dragging behind it make me alter my lines?? Did we veer off the track because of it?? Did the two pointing ('cause your skinnier than Bob - just) make me change my lines?? Did I brake earlier than I would have with Bob??
I think Kick is spanking his monkey too much watching the gay long bikes over in europe.....

I'd love Kick to swing for me for 3 laps and try his most unco-ness to make me go off the track..... (and no Kick, I'm not talking being on the right of it around a leftie either...)
You read too much into swinging kick. You don't need to be Arnold Swarkopfeneggermonkeyspanker either. Good strong wrists and a total understanding of what/where/how we are doing is a vital key, as is anticipation of an impending manuevour. Relaxing too, is just as important as 100% dedicated concentration.
I look at alot of passengers out there, and they are simply over-swinging.
FFS.... I mean, look at Bob, how more relaxed can you get? He even does laps two armed waving...... (cause he hangs on with his arse muscles....)

Errrr.... Bob, just how did you get such good arse muscles???

easy for someone who doesn't swing to rant on about how little they do!

if you keep going on about how swingers don't affect the bike then how are we possibly going to blame them for any crash or mishap?? think ahead scrivy, god damn it

beginners guide haha..

good to see he's using car parts to build em, half axles and hubs off hondas and toyotas

his f2 had seperate front and rear brakes like a solo.. dunno which I'd prefer... single pedal with a bias adjuster or just do your own bias on the fly.

also his brake setup.. recon'd 60% rear

pretty basic interview though, old Leno
