Oddball bike sports, sidecar MX bike.

Post by demographic »

I like these weird bike sports, its good to see the solutions they arrive at and how they got there.
Can't say I've ever seen sidecar MX races in real life mind. A while ago they were running 700cc twostroke single cylinder Zabel engines which I'm guessing Bill Browns over in west Cumbria will know a fair bit about cos they're based on the big Maicos. This one has a TM engine which I only know from a mates TM 125 motocrosser which was a bit tasty.
Anyway, here's some bumf.

I was once offered a ride in a MX sidecar, I tried to find polite words but landed up just blurting out something to the effect of 'Fuck right off' :lol: :lol:

there's no way on gods earth would I have done that, them riders are not right in the head

I used to know someone with a road legal KX500 powered outfit that he used for trail riding.

You don't want grip on the chair wheel, it's better if it slides around
