Mid-Sunday morning and the phone goes...its a local friend of mine, Peter..... he has come to a dead stop at the roundabout on Center Street, JP after his front wheel locked up on the sidecar;
"Come quick with tools" he says
"what tools?" I reply
Any tools!" he pleads...
So I fill a bag with tools and zip off in the Subaru to find him at the end of a skid mark just after the roundabout. The wheel has now freed itself and likely the result of an over tightened front brake cable. Now that its cooled off the wheel can move so we drive off and get back to Peters place. Once we decide the cable must have been the cause we loosen it up and then decide to go find some unploughed car park to practice snow driving - Peter in the sidecar and me in the Subaru. We finally end up in Home Depot on the VFW (though later we would cross the road and find an even better spot and Savers.
On the road and Peters paying attention to the lights:
ok thats better
Peter watching where he is going
and then he takes off..that rig can fly!
Getting the sidecar ready for some snow fun
and away he goes
notice the lean
hitting the deep stuff
donuts!
then with his son on board
oooh I feel sick...
then some really deep stuff...oh oh..
stuck!
despair! I want to go home!
Then yours truly takes over.....first time on a sidecar!!
wheeeee
donuts!!
looking rather pleased with himself
Then we went across the road and some great fun doing the same with the Subaru and more sidecar shenanigans!
Great way to spend a Sunday
cheers
Andy
