    no ya chimp, Howard gregorys TZ700 unit was a right hand outfit in the same piccy was Darryl Dowman on a left hand chair.
    To give you a atime line Darrly raced at the Cemetery circuit last year and google TZ yamaha and you'll see it's not that long ago.

    Some of the early lads used to have one for each side of the chair depending on where they were too

    You were there at the nats, the first time Alan and I had ever ridden one to check on your outfit with Jay on it. Instant smile, that wouldn't go away for weeks man.

    We are so into it, that Weaver just fitted a chair to the side of the pit bike for mini sidecar cross on the junior MX tracks.

    It can be a contact sport

    Fall off and it costs you a slab of piss
