What a fucking slut

fired up the rebuilt motor for the first time finally. only a few days over scheduled.
fired up pretty much straight away, fresh oil n coolant.. Sounds and feels like a different beast already - idle is different and it picks up revs a lot quicker. just idled it and gave it a couple of blips looking for leaks. So far the floor on the garage is dry as a bone as is the catch tray on the bike. Good stuff, and a previous leak it had is gone. mint.
looking forward to running it in at levels tomorrow (today)
nap time!

Say Hi to Mo when you open it up down the back straight for the first time for me will ya Kai...
Low personal B.M.E.P.
Earthquake stress getting to you ? Like to rephrase that spyda ? While it looks like being wet, the donk won't be making THAT much more power that he's likely to meet Mo any time soon......And if he did i can just imagine Mo's response.

meant tip his hat to the bikes maker for building such a weapon, not meet it's maker.
It was 1 am and i'd had plenty of laughing water last night...
Two Wheels or Three = FUN

Haha - I threw a wave up.. bit hard to aquaplane with one hand tho!! hell it was one of the wettest tracks I think I've raced on (on slicks too)
haha
good call, tip of Mo's actual hat was done.. I have his old Agip cap which fits me nicely.
So - Levels yesterday, After working on the bike til about midnight friday night and then loading it on the trailer and packing the borrowed van, we were in bed by 12.30.. and up at 5am to hit the road to Timaaas.
Light but persistant drizzle turned into proper rain by the time we hit Timaru and the track wasn't too bad at first but definitely a few puddles down the straight and in a lot of inconvenient places like entries to corners and braking points. I don't think I have truely aquaplaned before but I have now! it was a very bizarre feeling on wide slicks.. and dodgy with the bike twice getting very close to out of control with big left and right slides/fish tails. No walls were high fived though.
We were the only sidecar to show up, with Glen showing up but Alex didn't so Glen went back to Chch due to the shite weather. The club was kind enough to give me the track all to myself to run the motor in and have a general shake down of the bike. It ran faultlessly even though it was so wet and the agip bikes wiring is all exposed to it really doesn't like the wet at all. No front mud guard either so I couldn't see f-all all day.
Practice went well, got a good few laps in to run the motor in and then race (one horse) 1 and 2 were much of the same, a couple of laps to keep running the motor in and checking for leaks or issues. Not much else happened, bugger all solos turned up either, but those that did managed to go down like flies with a couple of Ambulances needed (hopefully all OK) and one bike even had the front forks and headstock ripped clean off, must have been a biggie!
All n all a good day, good on the club and all officials/helpers who stood all day in the rain and freezing wind to let us all get some track time.
Looking forward to KOR where I am promised more than 1 sidecar will show upand it should be dry weather to keep running motor in with a bit of load/traction and maybe give it a bit of shit and see how it really goes. Bike/chassis is going really nicely at the moment though - feels great, brakes are positive and does what I want it to do steering/slide wise. And the motor ran faultless but couldn't get much traction.
Til next time!
Thanks to Grumph for making the commute to check how the motor went and to check up on some solos too, good man!

So since stopping racing sidecars a couple of years ago I've got a bit fat and lazy so the obvious thing to do was to take up riding one as there's far less fitness and skill involved
A very generous friend bought the LCR I'd been racing with Dave in a bit of role reversal I've ended up in the riders seat and Dave on the side
Friday we decided to pop out to Ruapuna for a testday
First impression on climbing in was wondering why the Americans bother with waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay when they could just force terror suspects into an LCR body and have them screaming for mercy in seconds
Brake and gear levers just a little further back that I'd like but they'll do for the day, fire it up and roll out into pit lane all the while thinking what a heavy steering pig
Down into the hairpin and reaching for the nonexistent front brake lever throws me for a second, then it's on the brakes and turn it in, gassing it up on the exit for the run into the right hander and through the s bends, I take it easy for a few laps until my aching neck cant handle it anymore and pull back in
Takes the 1/2 between sessions for the neck to recover and we head back out, dialing it up a bit harder, using the brakes more and getting a bit more used to it, couple of slides through the infield sweeper but catch them easily enough, starting to nail it up out fo the dipper when Dave starts tapping me on the back so pull back into the pits, turns out after doing the right up and out of the dipper his glove got caught in the hand hold and he couldn't get back for the left
3rd and last session and I've been getting faster and braking harder so decide to crank it up a bit more but after a lap in Dave gets me to pull in as he's got his glove caught again, back out and a couple of laps in and he signals to pull back in as a water hose has popped off and we're losing water all over the place so we call it quits for the day
Need a couple of mods, brake and gear lever need to be about 10mm forward,might need some more space to get my arse into the bodywork a bit better although the team manger a bit unkindly did suggest losing a few kg might fix that
KOL this weekend so we'll see how we go

Hey Kick, I think Dave getting his glove caught & having to tap you is just an excuse, YOU are to fast for him !
