G'day
 

Hi all! I run a GSXR1000 K2 in an LCR roadrace sidecar. It's had a few mods & put out 176 hp & 92 ftlb. I'm developing it as we go along to get it going as best we can. I ride a 2004 Triumph Sprint RS on the road when I get time.

I love side car racing. Its one of my dreams to own one, along with everything else i wanna do eventuality. Welcome to the madness

Greets from dirty jersey

:welcome:

Howdy!

I wanna play!

Thats too cool, welcome!

Bitchin'! I love sidecars! Who do you race with, and do you pilot or ride monkey?

I wrote an article on a husband-and-wife sidecar team that was in the AMA magazine a while back, really opened my eyes to the whole circus.

Sick! And welcome!

Nice hack!

i think he either forgot about us or doesnt care :lol:

I'm the smart one on the handlebars!! Been racing outfits since 1990 in different classes. Off for a race this weekend. Weather looks a bit crook though! Might have to put the wet weather tyres on.

Well good luck... I'd love to see some pictures when ya get a chance!!!

Or video! Those races are insane, I cant imagine being the guy in the sidecar...*shudder*

what does the guy in the sidecar do? drop banana peels and throw turtle shells?

hahahaha!

Actually they regulate traction. Some "monkeys" claim they can control the rig as well as the driver can. By weighting a wheel they can make it stick or make it rotate around, tighening or loosening the line.

Have you ever done the actual steering part? ;)

I have tried both roles, but only on a "minihack".

Most physically challenging thing I ever did - even more than Kart racing (and that is a crazy amount of physical effort)...and flat out the most fun ever.

oh so sorta in the same way that i keep airplanes im riding in aloft by drinking copius amounts of booze and constantly praying/willing the plane not to crash.
