Paging Platy - outfit play time

But the sidecar licence only has pictures and no words, right?

I see a bright new future, where chickens can cross the road with no
fear of having their motives questioned

 

I thought you might be.

If Pete wants to do it then I'll be happy to chuck in an equal part so
a spot of hill climbing can be undertaken. If it worked out ok I fancy
doing a bit of piloting and some time but I'm sure plenty of others
would pay to be passengers if they were given the chance.

 

So presumably you have to do a qualifying number of sidecar races with a
national sidecar licence, and the required number in a year to get a
mountain licence. Or could you get a mountain licence by doing just solo
races if you held both solo and sidecar National licences.

Hypothetically speaking naturally. Obviously passengers also need
suitable certifying ;-)

I was passenger for Pat's mate Toby on his Ural when we won the Baitings
Dam hill climb championship in 81. So pretty slow and TBF that hill,
though narrow, didn't have too much in the way of trees and walls. You
may have seen the my video of the Vincent outfit there on Youtube.

Piloting the Matchless trials outfit lead to some close encounters with
trees and rocks, but that was naturally at slow speed.

I did have a video of me and 'knuckles' bimbling round Curborough twisty
sprint on the Mille/Squire. The tape got chewed up, so I must ask the
originator for a copy so I can upload a clip for my 'CV' to assure
prospective monkeys.

Enquiries are on-going, and it certainly can't be ruled out. Get plenty
of practice in on the way to the Elefant.

No idea. It ought to be pointed out that even the dimmest plod couldn't
confuse it with the your outfit even if lights were nailed on as well as
registration plate, and that even treaded sidecar racing tyres are not
best suited to snow and ice.

It's a difficult chair to lean out of.

 

Ubggrre.

I've actually seen road-registered kneeler outfits on ebay a couple of
times.

 

I remember him racing that at Three Sisters, possibly with Pat in the
chair?

He turned up at Barbon one year with a home brewed three-wheeler that
the passenger sort of just clinged to the side of.

IIRC they only let him do a demonstration run on it.

 

Fair comment. Perhaps spend the time devising a Jenks/Moss finger
signalling system Mille Miglia stylee then, for awarding points mid
run to the pilot for commitment of last cornering attempt.

"Oi'll give it foive"

 

The French and Germans build some spectacular examples.

 

Yes. Though he spends the winter at his father's place in Antibes.
He taught SWMBO#1 how to throw a pot many years ago (not a
euphemism). I even had a go when she acquired her own miniature
wheel. More difficult than it looks. The 'turning' of leather state
pots was a bit easier if you could make an approximately round one in
the first place.

Sod waiting for the Elefant, I've got a shiny new Hagon rear shock
sitting here waiting to be fitted at the weekend and then it's out to
see just how far I can lift the chair on left handers.

 

Excellent. I can still just go on the VFR if you crock it.

 

I'm waiting for you to announce that you've nothing on this weekend
and are coming up here to assist in the project.

 

I'm working Saturday. How about Sunday?

 

I knew you'd not be able to resist. Sunday's good because that gives
me plenty of time to fit the brake pads and shock then give it a rip.

 

Who was holding the FBOTY sweepstake? I want to increase my bid!
