Popular Post BR46 Posted February 15 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 15 Gearing change on the sidecar for long fast straightaways. The 500 is geared for as fast as it will go and I'm going to get my ass kicked in that class. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES Wo46 is constantly making adjustments as the race goes on. In left turns it's when and how far to get out. On right turns she watches the front tire and when it starts sliding she moves her body forward and if the rear tire starts sliding she moves her body back for more traction. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR46 Posted February 15 Author Share #10 Posted February 15 This is what happens when a monkey is not in the right place at the right time. Paul had a new co-pilot on and going into the turn he got his weight out but since he was in the wrong position there is not enough weight on the front tire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that the fork tubes have been cut? Does it have any squish with front suspension at all? Also, I assume this is one of the BMW opposing motors? LIke a boxer motor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are that it must have 3.5 inches of ground clearance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
