So as the 2025 Sidecar Seasons is just around the corner and what a great season it’s looking for my Chassis in Bemsee, British & world Championship races. πŸ’ͺ🏁

Over the next 2 months I’ll be looking at making my F2 chassis a full spec TT bike with some new ideas I’ve been thinking about. The new TT bike will also have a bag fuel cell like we use on our F1 chassis. (I have 1 order coming so if you want to join this order please get in touch.)

Also over 2025 I’ll be machining/fabricating a lot more F1 parts for stock to speed up delivery times.

Now the reason for this post is….. I’m probably going to be closed all Dec & the first week of Jan 2026. So this means if you’re thinking of a new Chassis for 2026 you need to order in time so it’s finished in Nov 2025.

Have a great 2025 and see you all soon. πŸ’ͺ🏁

From Louis Christen

After about 10 years of very good work in the production of LCR sidecars, Ben and Tom Birchall decided to go in a new direction. Each of the motorcycles they produced was at least as good as one of my own production. I would like to thank them very much for this good work.
From this year, Simon Perillat from France will continue the production of the LCR F1 and also F2 sidecars. Simon has many years of experience and has already produced several successful LCR F1 bikes. He has just finished and delivered the 2025 bike for world champion Schlosser. New F2 vehicles are also in the works. He has a large spare parts warehouse for older and current LCR bikes. Work can also be carried out on vintage machines.

Harry Payne Interview on Manx Radio

From yesterday –

Today’s guest is Harry Payne, a racer with speed in his veins.

Coming from a true racing family, Harry moved to the Isle of Man in 2016 to chase his dream on the legendary Mountain Course.

He started as a sidecar passenger, teaming up with icons like Dave Molyneux, before making the switch to the driver’s seatβ€”a move that proved to be a game-changer.

Harry’s journey has been nothing short of incredible and in 2024, alongside Kevin Rousseau, he clinched the FIM Sidecar World Championship in a nail-biting season finale.

Now, as he gears up to defend that title in 2025, we get the inside story on the highs, the challenges, and the passion that drives him forward.
