    Where have all the sidecars gone?

    Question was asked at Mt Welly today, a few guys would like to see them come back so if anyone knows where they have gone and if the current owners would be willing to part with them, it would be good to get them circulating again.

    It would be great to get them back.
    I had a ball on tf100 years ago (last century)---> guess that's why we have "stinky" now.

    There must be a truck load of them around the manawatu / wanganui area, I think most of them originated out of the local air force base (early nineties).

    Maybe a pitbike conversion could be in order....

    some quick funny links:

    My old one, there's more in the bucket sidecar thread. This one lives in Wellington now, F5 will be able to confirm if it's still there.

    I know of the location of one in Auckland. However given the owners history of buying things to be condemend for ever to sit in a shed with the best intention of being raced/riden I will be surprised if we ever see it at the track.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    The AUSMC has two, but they need work to get them going properly.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Yeah we used to race against them at Mt wellington. I remember the bucket sidecar as being more work than fun in the end.
