Popular Post BR46 Posted July 29, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 29, 2019 Had fun times and some bad. We spent all day Friday working on the bike in between practice session. Once we got the kids bikes tuning issues worked out and got the bike running good. Saturday morning practice my son missed a shift and over reved the motor two turns later the motor let go. on Sunday I was going to let him race my bike but in practice the ignition failed and a broken exhaust pipe. he did sign up for the off road race and used my dirt bike for the race. Took 1st place in class 6th on 7th overall despite running out of gas about a 1/4 from the finish line. Saturday night we went to the nearest bar for a drink and a pizza. The drink special was the Drunken Monkey. A 16oz drink that's about 3/4 alcohol. Wo46 enjoying a Drunken Monkey. What else would a sidecar monkey eat for lunch. Wo46 trying a new corner technique. Did Sunday morning practice with my son in the chair. Not his first time being a monkey but it was the first time we did it as father and son. We won a 1st participation trophy. There were 10 sidecars total but 3 or 4 in our class and at the end of the day we were the only SC2 sidecar in our class still running. The long straightaways at Road America are hard on motors. 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cylinder bore is good but the piston is junk along with the head. He has 3 or 4 heads laying around but the piston is now a ashtray. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I thought regular cycling was expensive; thus is a whole new level! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 30, 2019 Share #8 Posted July 30, 2019 You break more stuff than DH. I’ll bet if she had a motorcycle she would give you a run for your money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like fun but your sidecar looks a little different than mine. My monkeys don't move around as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
