The Place

This one is more for Steve/family and Bob! Not exactly where are they now - but they were here now!

Came and found me in the awning at Brands over the BSB weekend.

1) Malcolm Waller - not Changed much apart from Grey Hair! Still laughing too much to be normal! and Still wanting Terry Dolling to get one of the many outfits back on track for a bit of classic racing (well, that's what i reckon anyway!)

2) Mick McGinley - and his lovey daughter. Not changed much either - apart from grey hair!
Still has the S800 Honda outfit sitting ready to go - doing nothing. Think i talked him into letting me ride it at the Sidecar Festival this year! Bring it on.

Ah, happy days Ian I've got grey hair too these days as well

I'm starting to get Grey hair, but its not that Grey to join the Ian Guy Dopple ganger club

ARSE! I had mine 15 years ago - just got sponsored by Just For Men during that time So when the product support went..........

Anyway. back to topic please!!!!!

Mick McGinley offered me Honda Outfit for Festival....... Malcolm Waller still keen on having another go (I think.....) Lets put 2 & 3 together So who's got Malcolms number then?

AND>>>>>
ME - RIDING a PROPER (remember I was brought up with 70's racing) classic outfit - Like our dad's - and Bob - used to ride!!!!! I so excited at riding it - just so that my old man can finally say I am racing a 'proper' sidecar...... "not one of those 3-wheeled racing car things! they're not proper sidecars..... Blah Blah Blah!"

Riding Mick's Honda is an experience not tp be missed in the nicest possible way - just the sound of that engine revving is sheer music I rode it once with Jane at a Lydden practice day, also rode Ray's NSU the same day too - very different machines in their own way. Then back to a 750 Trumph

So, give me some tips Bob???
Dont forget, i started my racing with 13" Slicks, and a decent 900 Kawasaki for 4 meetings before then have a Windle TZ 700 the next year! So i dont know about riding these smaller wheeled, treaded tyred, lack of brakes, front exit, low powered things
I'd love to have ridden it at Lydden - just to compare lap times from what you guys were doing all those years ago But I might embarress myself!
Hi to Jane by the way x

Mini wheels, four discs so it stops well enough! Depending on state of tune (i.e. which motor Mick has put in) anything from 80hp up how quick it will be, only a four speed box. No flywheel on crank so motor is a bit (relatively) buzzy. Treaded tyres not a problem, more than enough grip in the dry.

Main difference is probably passenger as it is front exit despite Ron Jones' mod to make it a rear jobby, just be aware of where your passenger is, i.e. got to the right place at the right time - should not be a problem at Mallory methinks apart from possibly the Bus Stop.

See if you can persuade Mick to take it Mallory on a Wednesday, ostensibly just to blow the cobwebs off the old girl
