I started riding bikes as soon as I could get my licence, but sold my road bike a 6 years ago, had a track bike but kept breaking it

I've always had a fascination with sidecars, and would love to have go at being a passenger. My aim was to do it for my 30th Birthday, but family things put a stop to that. I've put feelers out with my biking mates, who have done their best to deter me, then stumbled across this forum.

Am I correct in assuming that a taxi ride is just that? A chance to have a go onboard?

Mallory Park is only a 3hr drive away.

yes a taxi ride gives members of the public a chance to get on the platform and have a couple of laps with an experienced racing sidecar driver the Mallory session will be held late on the Sunday afternoon and its 3 laps for £20 no limit to how many times you go out has long has the contribution is paid you will need to be at the circuit to complete documentation no later than 3pm on the day this can be done in the race office

Thank's Pat.

Will I need to bring down 1pc leathers and helmet?

[Lady Sidecar]

British Historic Racing usually run taxi rides a couple of times a season. I'm not sure when and where it will be this year, I'll check and put the dates up here when I know more.

We will be running a whole weekend of Taxi Rides on the Loop at Donington Park 12/13 of May with The Endurance Legends event, All for two racers benevolent funds

[pat]

Digger yes you need your leathers and helmet please

[Digger]

Should have those sorted by then... be gentle, I've my CTC booked for the 10th

[Lady Sidecar]

I've checked with Steve Kowalski at BHR and he thinks they will be unlikely to be running taxi rides this season, sorry.

[SlowPhil]

Disappointing as ever

A Legendary sidecar opportunity!
12/13 May
Donington Park

Last year at the Endurance Legends event we ran Sidecar Taxi rides on the Melbourne Loop and boy, did we have some fun!!
This event is all about the fantastic levels of fun and excitement that can be had whilst racing sidecars, you as the Taxi Riders will get a first-hand taste of what it’s like to be riding on a thoroughbred Grand Prix outfit or a slightly more tame Classic or even a ‘BEARs big wheeler’.
We will have leathers and helmets for you to borrow but if you have your own one piece leathers, gloves, sturdy boots and a helmet with an ACU gold badge, even better.
Last year we raised £3500 for baby Riley Clay who was suffering with a rare form of the big C, we all knew that getting him to America was his only chance. Many folk worked hard on all sorts of events but time was not on Riley’s side and with love all around him, he slipped away last year. His memory lives on through a charity set up by his family ‘The Riley Dean Superstar Foundation’. The aims are to help and support the parents and families of children with terminal illnesses. If you would like more information please contact me, Slow Phil on Facebook or 07730784975.
This year we are getting back to our roots by raising money for the ACU benevolent fund, that helps support fallen riders through injury and even after retirement from racing and the ‘Sue Berg’ fund that helps fallen racers from ‘British Historic racing’. Both these causes are staffed by volunteers and every penny given goes to the point of need.
Now, the fun part: You will be given a full briefing by ‘Lady Sidecar’ (Claire Duplock BHR Champion passenger and current racer) and at that point you can chose the outfit you would like to be taken on. If you fancy the ride of a life time or maybe an introduction into the world of Sidecar racing without spending a fortune, just £15 for ten minutes, book here //www.endurancelegends.co.uk/sidecar-taxi/ and let’s get the ball rolling!!
SlowPhil.

Anyone who can bring an outfit please call me on 07730784975
