Sidecars- Lets see em.

OVAL racing. Thanks.

Having never raced, I'll leave whether that's best or not for someone who may have a clue.

Dr. Greg, you are welcome to it. Let me know if you need the full res version.

Mr. Mellow, Thanks for the kind words. I built it last winter. It's been wonderful. In the photo my kids are the driver and center passenger on the bike. This was not staged. The boys had their friends over the house and were putting on halloween costumes. We parents went outside to see them playing super hero - save the little damsels in distress on the rig. Good boys!

thank you for that kind offer
i see that your image is available on smugmug

I took these a couple of years ago when in Geraldton Western Australia for work. this little gem was in a jewellery store no less with a gaggle of british collectables.Apparently it is ex New Zealand champion.(unknown date). Modern speedway outfits in Australia are usually set up to turn right and compete clockwise. Solos run anti clockwise and the chairs re-smooth the track surface for them between some heats. PS Australia won the world sidecar speedway champs recently.

Of course! That's why I offered it up, Dr. Greg. Please be my guest. The kids should have it!

Re the Speedway Sidecar,

A few years ago I was a flag marshall for St Austell speedway (The Trelawney Tigers) and when the chairs came out to race we used to move all the flags, corner markers, us and the graders right back as they are complete and utter nutters.

Just my 'new and improved' Ural Sportsman....


We have come a ways since we met....

that is very kind of you
thank you

Guys, I will not be available the coming couple of hours, trying to polish up my German, since the all new "Sidecar Traveller" just fell on the doormat

Thanks Martin and Heidi !

enjoy every page
how i wish it also were published in english

Next issue is English/German! We´re working already on two big stories in English for issue Nr. 2.

Yeah, too bad for you Greg, you should have payed attention in German class at school ( like I did )

I say: go for the next issue, even if it would be half as good as this first issue it's worth it's money.

Very good quality paper and pics, very easy readable font ( strangely maybe I find these things important in a magazine :huh ).
I -for now- have just read the short articles, still have to do the longer ones, reading German always takes some time, evenmore so because some of the parts or descriptions are so different from Dutch or English.

A little tedious because you have to retype everything.

Nah, just scan a page and have that translated by translate.google

I thought it was a print version......................

Since it appears to be, you'll need character recognition software as well...............
