Right. Right. (I have been drinking). Pickup truck drives in a straight line, with new rider blerk in the back. Probably with a helper. (We're using a pickup because it's less likely to be thrown off course by a rider departing). Bike matches speed alongside. New rider steps onto pillion peg and swings leg over. Pickup fucks off. New rider gives old rider a quick reach-around and takes throttle. Old rider stands up, dismounts at the trot to the left. New rider rings down for "Full ahead, both" and disappears in a cloud of smoke.

From: Grimly Curmudgeon on 4 Feb 2010 20:39 We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Wicked Uncle Nigel <wun(a)wicked-uncle-nigel.me.uk> saying something like: >Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, >doetnietcomputeren <doesnotcompute(a)gmail.com> typed >>On 2010-02-04 13:15:46 +0100, Champ <news(a)champ.org.uk> said: >> >>> The article shows how they re-fuelled while at walking pace, but I'm >>> not at all sure how they did the rider change - did one guy hop off, >>> walk along with the clutch in, then the next rider grabbed the >>> controls then hopped on? >> >>That was my guess. > >I would think that boarding at a walking pace from the back of (e.g.) a >pickup-truck would be safest, followed by the rider bailing out on foot. Pick a track with a ped bridge - one rider dangling onna bungee, ready to drop onto the front seat, as the bike approaches the bridge the pilot shifts to the pillioon seat and the blerk drops in. A crew of helpers pull him backwards catapult fashion and let go so as to match velocities. It will take some practice...

May's second fortnight would be a nice match of good weather that allows riding in leathers (you non-vented people) and long sunny days. |
