It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!

That bring's back scarey memories. Gary and I raced that outfit with a TZ700/750 in it. It handled so badly. We were doing the Race of Aces at Snett and the bike just jumped sideways about 4 foot. We finished the race, parked it and never rode it again. Originally it had "Kettles" in it. I think with TZ's and Gary's hard riding we reached the max of the outfit.

Not saying it was bad but we nicknamed it the "Ninja Turd"

Think it was built By Cliff(or Clive) Carter, friend of BFD.
