Remember when this is how it used to be…?

Dont frett Bitten, a lot of the piss taking is just that,old crusty vmxers get bored after living vmx since 1989 at first meeting. Some times you can feel the love and parts and info often changes hand for no money

[Marc.com]

Ps Hope to meet some people face to face at some events in the not too distant future

As I have mentioned quite a few people actually know each other face to face ... so I would take a lot of the general ranting as an extention pit racing and take it with a grain of salt.

What makes this site great, the tech stuff, bike builds and VMX tips is still on here, in other places in the forum..... the General Discussion/ Bike Talk just tends to  be a bit of a free for all.

One of the big advantages of having a very active forum with lots of members is you never have to wait more than a few minutes for an answer on anything. The disadvantge is it takes all sorts like any sizable population, so you get some weirdos and whack jobs as part of the deal.

Some of my best mates were mx sidecar pilots.
Now that I come to think of it they were my only mates and they were a bit funny.

Same thing as a tricycle for guys who can't yet ride a 2 wheeler..

Funny – hysterical
Or
Funny – peculiar

779 just took the chair off his RM500 and found he couldn't hold it up at CD

[Doggy Digger]

Dear tri-wheelers, I write to complain: your freakin' sidecars are somehow sneaking back onto the agenda.
(Personal note to EML, as no-one else listens to you ...)

MY ARGUMENT
   I got sucked in at CD7, and was nearly crying by the time I finished my ONE PALTRY LAP
of driving ... at idle speed.   I was utterly confounded and sooooo sad.

   Steve BAKER keeps on at me, about getting aboard.

   And a fortnight ago, Popeye told me something that I (personally) found amazing - that all
sidecar drivers are effectively full-lock as they gas it in a straight line.   Wow!  (Something about trailer wheel drag ...)

   MC Macca told me that back in the 1990s he was a very pro-style, really really fit MXer.  
And that, after 1.5 laps in a chair, he had to slap the driver in head and beg him to stop - before Macca fell off in exhaustion.

   You Chair Bears are all Vikings.   I don't know how you do it.   What I DO KNOW is that you'll
never conn me again, ya bastards!

Rog the secret is to relax and not hold on to tight  obviously an reasonable level of fittness helps but most new swingers suffer arm pump almost immediatley due to holding on to tightly 

[bazza]

Bill- relax and dont hold on tight.....hmmm i could not possibly comment   lol
