why do you race?

[Atlas]

Classic sidecars - Sh*t loads of fun, skinny tires, marginal engines and brakes, a great bunch of people all shapes, sizes, ages and genders. : tight racing, varied bikes and a good laugh with all on a fairly tight budget.
I reckon the most dangerous bit is the drive to and from the track towing the outfit.

My fav option ain't there,

The risk... Times that my brakes may have packed a sad just before the end of the back straight at manfield, or my throttle has stuck full open in a corner, or the rarer times when paint is swapped in a manoevre...

I do it mainly for the risk I guess, facing death and winning gives a healthy perspective on life, or in the slightly nicer fashion that Burt Munroe reportedly put it;

One can live more in 5 minutes on a motorsickle, than most live in an entire lifetime!!

Winning (has happened once or twice for me, LOL) is definitly a secondary pleasure to all of the above, and being a champion isn't all it's cracked up to be... (but wearing number one sure is nice, PMCC final round, ME
