Re: Feet forward sidecar
Hi
regulations say "foot behind the knee", than it is a sidecar.
It comes from solo and we are still a motorcycle class.
Bye eckart

It Reads :Quote- Sorry , But I do not have one part left of that design left. It was a unique experiment. A special wish from BosigerQuote

Sorry it's in German. In my opinion, best sidecar driver ever, development ended when Biland retired.
How long ago!!!??

Re: Feet forward sidecar
One of the reasons that sidecars are not being developed, (or) evolving is because, the powers that be, have strangled any form of development at birth (In Britain.) If any constructor tries to modernize the outfits that he makes, he is shouted down. What is the point of spending many hour upon hour designing and building a slightly newer approach to sidecars, just to have it banned before it even sees a race track.
