Side car

Post by suzukisaluki »

Little bit random this one.

Im very keen to try out side car racing.track mainly, but curious about it all. I know absolutly nothing about it apart from the fact ive wanted to do it since i was a kid, kinda forgot about it soon as i got a bike (last year) but got extremely over excited and drove my poor boyfriend mad watching them race the last few times!

does anyone know of anywhere i can try it or just find out more about it. Im bridgwater based but will travel.
I think i need to try it just to see if i hate it :)

any help would be much appreciated, please drop me a Pm or something if you can help/advise me :)):

Cheers SS x

Stan Stephens (the Two Stroke Tuner) was looking for a Hillclimb passenger earlier this season.
