16th Oct Practise Day
Going to take my outfit out to the track on Friday for the afternoon, have a few people keen to try swinging out, see if anyone gets hooked :)
Also just seeing if what we did to my brakes has made any improvements and running in new chain and fresh brake pads. Pretty mellow day. If anyone knows anyone that has wanted to or wants to have a go swinging in the sidecar I'll be happy to take em round for a lap or two if they come out on Fri. let me know through the Contact Us page so I get an idea of numbers, if we get a big turn out I'll ask for some gas money and may even ask if anyone else wants to bring their outfit out, get a couple sidecars going round.. if we get enough people could even make a day of it.. we have a nice new bbq we want to use :D, so far have 3/4 people keen to come out.

Saturday 5th Sept - had a relatively good day out at the have a go bike day at Ruapuna, despite the mid day accident which cut things a bit short, We managed to give people a good few laps after all the races had finished at the end of the day. The few people I took out had a ball and got great feedback.
Thanks to Dave Annan and Graeme Harris for bringing their outfits out and taking the time to help grow the sport, also special thanks for Graeme bringing out his dyno trailer and spending his day running bikes for next to nothing cost wise
Looking to put on another full day of Sidecar rides soon, just during an open track day (Tues or Fridays) and get a bit more advertising out before hand and bring out Colins F1 longbike which is a very well turned out machine and is for sale at a fraction of the build cost and hopefully get some people into it.
