wow what a sport and you know what im talking about RivaOni
A thrilling sport not to be sniffed at .. im not sure how well known it is in the states but its getting well known over here now.. even though the sport has been about for over 50 years it hasnt had much credit.. ive been involved with this sport for a little under a year now and have taken up photographing particular events .. know what a side car looks like ?? no ?? well here have a peek :
thats my better half on the back racing at oulton park this weekend past .. tis great stuff  |

im afraid it is a very dangerous sport with many casualties and the bike does tip up on some corners .. here in this link is an example .. steve (my better half) up in the air on the last bike .. yes my heart was in my mouth and i couldnt take any photos of this a friend (Rusty) also a photographer took this photo .. before this photo was taken steve had taken a tumble from the bike and had to be seen by the paramedics.. Steve has lost many friends including his own father to this sport but its in his blood im afraid and lives for this sport.. it is great to watch and be apart of .. steve has been up in the top 15 in the world and he knows what he is doing thankfully

its a very frightening sport to watch, i remember being at mallory years ago, on the lastcorner leading to thestart finishing straight, they had a mound in the middle, and one bike took out another 2 leading to 2 of them being on top of each other. i think they may have taken that mound out now though, someone at Steve's Place would have to let me know |

whats wrong with sidecars Dom? oh and theres always the helmet to disguise the face you pull as you mess yourself when the things tipping up on corners, especially as most of the peopple at MG's hubbies sidecar racing sites members say, the passengers usuallyh ave their eyes closed |
