The Place

how many rode solos, rode sidecar, and passengered as well, i can only think of 2

Not registered on there but Neil Smith springs to mind, not sure if it was the Manx GP or TT he did on a solo but I'm sure he's ridden the Mountain course on 2 wheels as well as 3. The only rider that springs to mind for me to have driven and passengered on 3 wheels and ridden solos is Richard Crossley.

Register on there Tim it's an OK place

Ted Fenwick from York, passengered with Alwyn Maltby and also took part in a 250 solo race I believe. Also thinking George O'Dell may have taken part in some shape or form in a solo practice, if not a race ?

How about Freddie Wallis and more recently his son, David too ?

According to the TT database, Dick Hawes, as well as competing in many sidecar races as a driver; took part as a passenger in 1967, and in the same year also participated in the 125 solo race on a Bultaco He was also involved in another solo race in 1984.

Think you’ll find Tony ‘International’ Derby could be in there somewhere, he won a MGP on a Suzuki . . . . . . . Well he said he did !!!

We may be unique

How many other fathers and sons have done the TT on solo and as sidecar drivers?

Dad did solo in the 1950's and sidecar in the 1960's.

My best solo result was 15th in the supersport 400 and best sidecar (so far ) 8th.

the great norman burgess from clitheroe solo and sidecar driver and passinger i think

Norman rode with S S in 83 as a stand in passenger finishing 8th

Billy Nelson rode with Charlie Freeman and raced a solo

Interest in this thread has been such that the whole site has crashed ! The power of the sidecar world !

knew we would make ground breaking steps one day...

That must have been in 2nd race was it Jim? First time proper that I met SS was in Ramsey where he broken down in first race I think.

The results say 1st race Geoff, 2rd DNF of those he had far to many

How many have won on both? I know when Dan won the TT an MGP in 09 he was the 1st to win on both 2 an 3 wheels on the TT course since like 1950 something? but how may have done it with out it bein in the same yeah if ya get me
Dan was on the podium at the TT on a sidecar then was on the podium at the "S100 TT" in the same wk in 08, now i know it not a TT race (sorry every1) but has TT status, how many times has some stood on a podium for 2 an 3 wheels in the same week??? Maybe this is somethin Phil could answer???
