Re: Team Founds 2014 (WOW)

Their result in Sidecar A was mega. I was really surprised to see that as I had not seen any qualifying. Almost breaking into the top ten is just crazy.

Re: Windle F2 Chassis in NZ.. Build Date? Setup Advice? Hist

Definitely don't feel bad about the age of your chassis; my Windle is so old I believe it was intended to have a front exit chair originally. The current chair was built by someone here and the outfit had 10 in wheels originally. With a K6 1000 Suzuki it is not exactly a well behaved machine. I can ...

Re: 2013 Sidecar TT........

OK. Made it to the paddock! Can't believe I'm actually here. Found a Manx SIM for my cell. Number is 07624-469842. Still need to find our bearings and what not but looking forward to the next few weeks.

Looking For Stock Footage

Hello all,
I have some friends here in America putting together a sizzle reel to try and sell a sidecar TV show to the networks. They are asking me for "European footage" to use. Obviously I have none, but I was wondering if anyone had access to real roads or FIM sidecar footage that they would be ...

Re: Looking to Come Over From America For The TT

It really finally happened. Got the flight itinerary. May 24 to June 4. Can't believe it's finally real. Looking forward to getting there. Really excited to see it all in person. Just gotta fine tune the details and call in favors on the generous offers here and on Facebook. It's certainly not as ...

Re: Looking to Come Over From America For The TT

Thanks Jo. Yes I am looking at Gatwick also. With the cost of a ferry ticket plus trying to get to Liverpool from London, it might actually be easier and cheaper to coach to Gatwick and fly to the Isle. For international flights, pretty much everything crossing the Atlantic is going to put wheels on ...

Re: Looking to Come Over From America For The TT

PM received, thanks. I can hold a pint as easy as I can hold a spanner :)
I have a feeling that I'll be a free set of hands in general around the paddock if I can get there, just bouncing around from spot to spot meeting/helping people. Main thing is to find a ride from the big island to the IOM and ...

Re: Jay Leno

I wonder if it is a country code/format thing? Works fine here in the US. I was actually at the garage for the filming of this episode. Bernard has since taken on as driver of a Canadian-built CSR chassis with '05 1000 Fireblade power. Becker was the star of the episode though as he either built or ...

Looking to Come Over From America For The TT

Hello all,
I've been working on plans to visit the TT in 2013 with an eye on competing in 2014. I'm hoping to find a group that's in need of some support, as I'd rather be in the paddock than the grandstands to be honest. I'm also trying to figure out what days to come over/ return, as I know ...

Re: Newcomers weekend November 3/4

Wish I could make that, but the boat ride is a bit longer from America... :)
