I need another crew member for my sidehack at Dalby and Belchford. Anyone interested or know anyone who might care to join me? Own leathers and helmet required. PM me here of you're interested.

Matt may be available for one or both events - I'll have a word with him when he gets back from work - He's looking for leathers on ebay and can probably borrow a helmet. Good for ballast too, at 17.5 stone - are your tyres up to the test?

I'm only 10.5 stone and I don't have any leathers thus sorry but not this time.

Thanks OG - that sounds great. Matt plus me = ~200Kg before we've even got on the sidehack... Never mind the wheels - I might have to upgrade the brakes a bit...

Brakes? Not really needed at Dalby until after the finish and there's a fair bit of run-out space.

Er, there aint that much runout at dalby, there is a speed hump not far after the finish line which needs to be crossed at under about 10mph to avoid getting airborne and if you cross the line at 65mph, that's 55mph you need to scrub off in something like 200m.

Stephen,
Matt seems to be up for racing at Dalby, but has to source some old leathers from another fat git. We are looking on ebay and will keep you posted.

Much obliged. What size are you looking for? It just occurs to me that I might be able to find a set.

Matt is (I think) 44-46" chest, 36-38" waist and about 6' tall.

Thanks to Paul for stepping up and being passenger for me last weekend at Dalby. He must've been doing something right 'cos we won! Yay!
If anyone fancies a shot in the sidecar at Belchford on the 11th, please let me know ASAP.
