There's no disputing the ticker required to race those sidecars Ian,  especially from the monkey, but I was more commenting on the speed and undulation of that track.

Slides the idea of two or three wheels out there is beyond my skill set , way to many changes of underwear for me .

Be interesting to see if they race chairs on that track, at first I thought you meant trikes, they'd be awesome to watch as well.

So many unused country horse race tracks ...so much f...ing RED TAPE.  Been trying for nine years to organize an all eras grasstrack meeting around the old horsey race curcuit in Rochester Victoria. Just a bloody nightmare.
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

That is crazy! Getting air then throwing it sideways,flatout with top class safety  barriers in place ::),.....FANTASTIC. This joint is rooted by all the bloody do-gooders.
Keep at it Timbo. Also having the pushies there,...great way to get more spectators.
That was great, I'm going to watch it again.   cheers    Mark

I wonder if that is a purpose built track for bikes or some type of cross country horsey track.
It must be some sort of racing complex because I noticed what looks like a Speedway track in the background somewhere in the footage.

Looks too smooth for a horse track, my guess is purpose built.

Is the track in germany or elsewhere?

All we need is a wealthy benifactor who loves motorcycles to donate a parcel of land, simple :-\.
Biggest problem would be that you'd only get 2 or 3 meetings in a year otherwise it'd become a Dirttrack.
I noticed that as the guy with the on board cam was making his way through the pit area to the track there was an MX bike getting ready to roll, they'd be great to watch as well.
Some of the longtrackers looked to have beefier front forks but only a 2 speed longtrack box, once in top thats where it stays.

I think it's normally a horse track where they do stepple chasing and jumps racing.  And yes they also do mx classes on there
74 Yamaha YZ's - 75 Yamaha YZ's
74 Yamaha  flattracker's
70  Jawa 2 valve speedway's

For sale -  PRE 75 Yamaha MX stuff, frame, motors and parts also some YAM DT1,2,A and Suzi TS bikes and stuff
