The Place

Hi Dave, I have the same problem! I found Shoei are better for me but I still have to put some padding in the top of the helmet to get clear vision to see past the top of the cutout. I find the problem worse when we are going down hill when im trying to look further ahead.

Hi All,
Andy Thomas one of the new sidecar crews to the CRMC (ex modern sidecar racer) has been working hard to come up with a solution, more info to follow but it will involve crews having to commit to quantities of tyres to ensure a commercially viable batch can be produced.

That would be great ...

It could be a long wait then if the French have bought the moulds off Dunlop, for the time being what is the alternative? There are one or two 16" tyres on the market but not many with a good speed rating, Bridgestone 110/90x16 might be an option.......any thoughts? My other options are to retire ...

Thanks Ian, Ken at Hersham Racing has sold all of his stock! he told me people have been buying 3/4 tyres at a time. I have since been in contact with Dunlop and said they have stopped production of the 16 inch RS2. I am now looking in to an alternative tyre something like the Avon or going over to ...

New Dunlop Racing Sidecar 350x16 tyre wanted, no suppliers seem to have any in stock and they are not sure when they will have another delivery.
Has anyone a spare or any idea where I can get one, I'm not sure if there is an alternative one I could use.
Cheers
Ged

I have a spare ticket if you are still looking for one?

Thanks Tim, Entered classic class 13 but put a note in saying I don't want to be out with car based 3 wheelers. I think we would rather come last in a faster group.

Thinking of entering but Auto 66 don't know which class I would be in, its either class 10 twin cylinder or class 13 classic can anybody shed any light? also which group will the Morgan's be in? I don't really want to be in the same group as them.
My bike.... Kneeler with 16" front wheel 1949 ...

Had a measure up today the one with the 59 wheelbase has a lead of 11.1/2" and the other one has a lead of 14" with a 57" wheelbase, both have 10" wheels with a 16" up front.

Hi, Not sure if this has been covered before but i was wondering what is the best position for a sidecar wheel? there must be some formula where to place the wheel, i have been looking closely at a couple of classic outfits and there are in different positions.

Cheers

Get it built Bruce!

Ged, with regard to race entries. Fill in the entry forms when they come out and post them all off together.

Whenever I have done this in the past I have not been a reserve.

Ok Simon its good to know its a first come first served basis, it did not occur to me it might be ...

CRMC doesn't need any more bikes on the grid, why would they change the rules to what is a class that fills grids and that the people who ARE racing with the club enjoy?
Wouldn't make much sense to me.

I see the point of the eligibility officer's job being the thankless task of getting the grids ...

Yes we are going to Croix only taking solos thou as the outfit its not finished but you will be pleased to know that one of the bikes is a triple see you there.
