Sidecar Racing

I remember watching these guys when I was a kid, but haven't heard anything about it in years and years - then I came across a site showing the current sidecar racers, and WOW!



Still, I think I like the older ones better... came across this video of a Triumph sidecar, it makes me giggle like a schoolgirl watching this thing take corners.

My uncle has a beautiful '71 Triumph Bonneville, I'll ask him about putting together a team...

Its amazing how much work the guy in the sidecar has to do to stabilise everything during the race. They are all over the thing

Far out the passenger is mad

He would be stuffed by the end of it

If you ever get the chance to watch a race, you won't be disappointed - NONSTOP action!
