[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 139329, member: 597"] Thanks David, it was an awesome weekend, I have only just joined the team, literally a couple of weeks ago, after Luis contacted me and asked if I would be interested in helping out........Distance is the issue, as the Bike lives in Sydney and I am 900 Km north on the Gold Coast. Anyway Luis had the bike delivered to me the week beforehand for a quick check over.......A few minor items sorted out, and replace the rear chain, took the bike for a spin around the block and all seemed to be ok.....We had a couple of glitches on the Friday afternoon soon after we arrived at the track, but it seemed to be more false alarms and the first outing on Saturday morning showed the bike to be fine. Cam is such a professional rider, he is excellent to work with.......On returning he would quickly advise of any issues or changes needed which we got onto straight away........The Horner brothers were there with their families, this was mostly to test the 2 outfits and a solo bike that they have changed over to mechanical fuel injection........This seemed to work out ok on both sidecars, but the solo was not so happy.........the injection being very much like an ''on/off" switch, this made riding out of corners too difficult according to Cam. Amazingly Cam's lovely wife Kaz who I believe is a champion motox rider herself was passenger with Cam, and they looked spectacular racing together........They too won on the sidecar in that class........not too difficult on that machine, but just showed how versatile a rider cam is to pilot on solo's and outfits very competitively.
