Alan and I have been working hard (and being well rewarded) toward our new sidecar fund.

Top one not making any comments on that, leave that to others. New sidecar fund, have you's got one in mind? are you going to sell the old one, keep it for a spare or strip it for parts?

I'm not making accusations bro. Astrid has said she was on Diazapam and it caused the test to return a reading. This was on Facebook where she was trying to warn other racers that a doctors note needs to be carried when on prescription meds.

Diazapam is Valium.

Anyhoo. Old sidecar will get dragged around for other people to ride untill it sells. We're a wee way off a new one though, bringing a real good short chair in from England isn't cheap.

Actually that's a good point raised , need to check my asthma medication i think some of the steroids involved with it would give a reading too. wonder if carrying copy of prescription form is okay?

Gets a little bit grey. The test at the track doesn't identify any substances, just detects that there is something there.

What is a doctors note going to do? Does that mean if I get a note from my drug dealer, its ok for me to be on heroin?
