Douglas as in the city of Douglas in the Isle of Man ?Like I said, must not still be in north america and if I'm at the Isle of Man I wouldn't be wasting my time in a pub.

wasting time in a pub, now how could that be a waste ?![]()
I would and have been in the paddock with them plenty. But that's in the US at vintage events.I wouldn't be in the pub with a bunch of sidecar folks and start calling the passenger the monkey. At least not when they all have a heat on. Not unless they are very close pals or your track shoes are warmed up. Have a few close friends who race outfits here in the states (also have done a few stints at the TT; enough where there's a right hand spot just before the Ramsey hairpin that we call "Christine's Garden" for reasons that will remain unmentioned) and calling the passenger the "MONKEY" is not shall we say proper. No affront intended just a note from hanging with these folks.
Cheers
I have a friend that was just at this years TT. I'm in hopes that he has pics of the KTM and how they have put together the drive chains. I pinged him that if he did to send them my way and if he does I'll pass them along. If I understand what he told me this is all about getting the rig still lower because they are getting air and this causes lift. So far it just sounds like a really cool set-up but like all new engineering we'll need to wait to see if it works. I'm the one who is sort of in charge of all the solos while Wade and Eric do the outfits but those things have always been interesting and some of the rigs are amazing.I would and have been in the paddock with them plenty.

My son "monkeys" on a vintage Triumph rig and we are putting one together to run as a father/son team.
