Links to Vmx Pics Sidecars and Solo machines .
« on: July 31, 2007, 11:41:54 am »
Here is one that features From the 50s on Sidecars and Solos. in British Isles. http://www.classicbikes.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
One footnote, Marc Wolverson is featured (on page 7 second last photo) high in the air over a jump, the Outfit has Mag type wheels,  Sadly Marc passed away recently from illness at the young age of 42. 
His father John is a friendly wealth of info for sidecar builders as he has been racing and making them since the 1960s.  Contact me for his email address if you like.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Yeah, typical Euro!
If sidecar racing as like this in Australia.............. shit, even I'd pay money to see it...........  ;D
What interested me most was how they race with chairs on both left and right in the same race. Never noticed that before. Is that normal??

We where running both chairs here in WA,but not now.
I better not say anymore or might start something I'm not suppose too ;D ;D ;D
Maybe we'll end up back with both chairs in the future.
