Jim Jakes on his Vincent outfit was one of the hardest sidecar riders ever to race at Brands and Crystal Palace in the 60's
He used many passengers and was known as ' an accident looking for somewhere to happen' :spin:

Thanks Dick, sounds like the chap that I remember 8-) Seem to recall that his passenger turnover rate was rather high too!

Now for the difficult one - has anyone photos of Jim Jakes please?
