I've been asked how someone becomes a sidecar passenger. What are your useful tips, hints and advice?

I suggested having a go at a taxi ride and if he enjoys that, to find someone to give him a go on a track day?

Obtain a Passenger Race Licence:

For an ACU Road Race Competition Licence, passenger, applicants are required to complete the Classroom Training Course (CTC).

Talk to Bemsee :)

I also found this link from a couple of years ago.

Theres a thread in the sidecar paddock section near the top by Nev Jones, it explains it very well.

Get to a meeting and talk to people as well. Join in, a familiar face is more likely to get a ride.
