And the Anderson when Burt and I were on it. Seems as though it's a long bike thing. Not enough weight on the front....well maybe not in Kicks case

I clicked,no results up on their site yet.
Fastest man up there, still Andrew Lawrence's boy (man ) ?

I chucked Al off at Hampton downs going too deep into barrel.

No heavy braking required to the left up the cliffhanger.

Jay's record still stands.

Coincidentally just came across this video. Go the 2 strokes at Bathurst 1983.

Short two strokes, the best kind of sidecar.
That looks like the TZ Peterbuilt Chivo had at Hampton Downs a couple of years ago.
He hung it on the wall for 20 odd years, & as a result, nobody destroyed it trying to keep it competitive as often happens.

While we're watching YouTube, see how many idiots you can count in this clip.

Trevor would have a rubbish bin full of MNZ licences if some of that shit was tried today, most of the marshalls are on drugs too, I'm not sure what kind, but certainly nothing I tried in my mis spent youth.

It seemed to have a big problem turning right as well last time I was following it

It occurs to me that a short bike with conventional steering head tilts the wheel when it's turned out of the straight ahead position - loading the inside edge of the tyre. With carcase distortion, it should generate heat reasonably evenly. And quickly.
The hub center geometry of most long bikes keeps the tyre pretty much flat - yes ?
I saw a lot of temperature readings being taken at Levels, how evenly do the long bikes generate heat in the front ?
Does anyone play with static camber angles to improve things ?

If they are set up right they generate heat fairly evenly, we had ours within 2 degrees

Some teams play with all the angles, camber, castor and toe, when it is right it makes a big difference

You can run with no side brake for hagd.
Damn phone....

So who is Nev on here? And if I cant get disc sorted might have to roll without it
