A fine line between bravery & stupidity

Postby grandpaul » Wed Mar 10, 2010 7:45 am

I've accepted an offer to ride 'monkey' on a modern sidecar racebike at Willow Springs at the end of April.

It's an LCR GSXR1000 rig...

NOW what have I gotten myself into?

Are you sure you're not sane enough to say no?
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

Your nuts but I will be there rooting for you Paul. I saw a monkey take flight in a twirling exit from a bike at the begining of the Omega in turn 4 last year. It looks like the transition from turn 3 to 4 could be chalenging but I guess they all are or it wouldn't be any fun. Hope to see you there & good luck. Glenn.
