Some of my best mates were mx sidecar pilots.
Now that I come to think of it they were my only mates and they were a bit funny. ;D
Funny – hysterical
Or
Funny – peculiar
Both  ;D

After a while I learnt to hang on only when I needed to and rested for the rest---around corners is a bludge-over jumps is 'air time'---that is, suck it in. Down the straights it's hold on with one finger and rest the other muscles.
I have been to gyms and tried to get them to do me a program but when they ask which muscles I ues and when-I just tell them " all of them -all the time". It's like a jungle-gym that does 100klm/hr and leaps into the air. They just can't get the gist of it until I show them something on the google whatsit, then they shake their heads and mutter something about 'madness' and shuffle off to leave me to it.
BUT I LOVE IT!!!!(if anyone is listening).
BTW there is a great you tube of Hansi and Fritz in their heyday racing in Switzerland and as Popeye said they are fuul noise up the staright, over the bumps and on full opposite-lock. Fan-bloody-tastic to watch.

I remember reading in a M.A. newsletter some years ago that all four top placers in the Aus' speedway sidecar championships all tested positive for pot.

How did this turn into a sidecar thread?

Does that mean you remember so you didn't have as good a time as they did or that you think you remember but uncertain meaning you did have as good a time as they did?   ;)

It's called "soloitis" and all solo riders get it. They just want to win all the time and will spend heaps to do so.
Sidecaritis on the other hand, seems to work the opposite-that is, when you ride an outfit you have to find a mate to ride with for starters. Then you find yourself having to loan all sorts of stuff to other sidecarists to keep them running and they have to do the same for you. As we are all in this together we have to pit to together, eat together and sometimes even sleep with your passenger (like Wayne and Helen & Dave and Helen-different Helen!!) Party together and sometimes race together.
So if you are looking to get that 'ol feeling back-get an extra wheel.....
   
Or Wayne & Dave...........or Helen & Helen !!!!! ;D :P

A man goes to Fiji on holiday and misses all the fun this week ::) ::)

In my opinion,the great thing about this forum and the sport we race (VMX) is that we all get together at various events,and can discuss things face to face.Those individuals that disagree about certain issues can discuss them,and not hide behind red typing or subtle childish jibes.

End of story.

Doggy Digger, try GOOGLE "mx sidecar racing" and it should be the 1st to come up.
