Yes, I know I could have posted this in the You-Tube thread but it will get lost in there. I also hope this isn't a re-post. Anyway, here it is....a 1950's Triumph Thunderbird side car showing some rather more modern machinery how to launch off the start line, it's EPIC!!!

Shame he goes backwards after that. The oversteer from 1:30 onwards was impressive too.

Great I'd like to try that!

What a fantastic old outfit, and the rider and passenger must have coconut sized gentlemen's parts

[Grey Ghost]

Great find

I can't believe they race there, I drive down county lanes wider than that

Fantastic old outfit.

Lunatics! Sat in a sidecar racer once.

Got out pretty quickly as it scared the living crap out of me just sat still!!!

Look up Irish road racing - 1000cc superbikes on roads thinner and lower quality than this. Oliver's mount is smooth compared to some of them...

That's Nick Weston. I have been watching him race for many years.
He was actually wheelying out of Shaw's Hairpin at Mallory Park during last years Festival of a Thousnd Bikes. He got a cheer on every lap. He always seems to win...
