Holy fuck! Man these guys have balls of f*cken steel! I love the stockcars but have never seen sidecars at the speedway before! These things haul arse! Mostly VTR 1000 powered with other 1000 class 4 cylinders.

These guys have NO brakes and can only change UP gears. Talking to the guys in the pits they really only use 2 gears for a twin and 3 gears for the 4 cylinders. The swingers are basically eating dirt while having their heads almost run over by passing bikes. Fucken exciting to watch! Anyone seen/ done this before? Anyone got balls big enough to try it? If I had a camera I would have taken photos....

Yea, I've seen them racing on the telly before. Damn right about them being awesome!
Was reading an article in a mag recently about some guys with a GSXR1000 powered sidecar. Thing sounded like it would be some mean fun.

Yea well after riding on Scrivy and Bobs Hayabusa side car which was DAMN quick around Taupo short circuit, doing it on a dirt speedway track must be 100 times more insane! :ride:

Maybe need a :drinkup: first to calm the nerves.
