The Fingertight Racing Sidecar Project

Ummmm actually I meant ala Mr. Burcher and his home built rig above,clearly he has two wheels up front , one behind the other. Four wheels but only three line of axis forward. It looks like the looseness of the bucket sidecar rules could make for some interesting debate over form.

Within the rules I think. Hard to keep it under two meters long though, and a bitch to get the linkage rates right...and they'd be wrong as soon as a slide started.

All this sudden interest in bucket sidecars is great, lets just hope we see some of these other ones out soon, Probably Warrens at next race, The Tq wheeled Lawrance copy of the Mt Wellington organiser, John Steer is building one & my Bro Richie is building one out of a pit bike. Are there any for sale that anyone knows as now there is interest we may get people keen on them. There was a chassis in Henderson Valley thay was on Trade Me but i cant find Ph No if anyone has it.

Dont have a phone number Chris but I did find the old thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...hlight=sidecar, it might be worth a PM to the guy to see if it is still there.

While I am at it, I saw some photos on a camera that I think belonged to one of your crew the other weekend. I would love to see some of those shared.

Hey Chris i have his number, left a message on his cellphone wasn't sure if you had contacted him. was going to see if i could have a look at it this weekend if he still has it. Will contact you tomorrow, had Gazzza out at workshop tonight, he's looking forward to next meeting. Does Des need a hand with anything on his one?

The photos would have been taken by Simon and Chris Cairns.

I think Chris goes by the name of Chrisc on here. His is the bandwidth warning thread.

Ahh that would make sense. I obviously talked to Simon and when he said Chris I thought he was talking about Lawrence. Move along nothing more to see here....

My bad. Some chars

Just wondering, any idea how many sidecars might be there for the next meet? I was thinking of going out both days, I know Warren will be there Saturday. Henk, Brian, you guys keen to do both days? How's your rig going Carl?
Well lets at least hope we get a better race day weather wise, than last time.

[Pumba]

Not a huge amount has happened with mine, need to spend some time chopping a few brackets this weekend and fitting the new tubes and tyre. Mine should instantly go better with all the front wheel spacers in place

Need to do some repair work to the FXR after my little off in the last race as well.

That is prob about all I am going to have time for prior to the next meeting.

Will be up on the Sunday. Might make it on the Saturday but really wont know until closer to the time (e.g. prob Friday night or Saturday morning).

I'd count on us not being there. Rick may contradict me but he usually doesn't come on Saturdays.
I'll be there asleep in the van as usual if you need a back up swinger although Andrew will probably turn up if you are going to be there.

Saturday is not looking good, I am on call this week and haven't been in the garage for weeks due to being full of flu so Saturday will be getting my shit together for Sunday ..

[Gazzza]

No worries, I'll most likely be there Saturday still, look forward to seeing everyone Sunday.

Sorry we will not be there Sat, usually dont go on Sats plus to busy at work, but will definatly be there Sun. We have a new tyre on side so can give Warren his tube back, have moved nealeers forward to try & stop sledging, but cant find another tyre for front ( old & hard ) . See you all there for some more fun
