We have a gentleman who is wishing to enter a classic sidecar for the May 12 & 13 Seniors meeting at Mac Park but who cannot find a passenger.
He rides a 750 Triumph and has raced sidecars for the past 50years. He also pointed out that he has not injured a passenger in all that time!
If you can help, or pass this on to someone who might it would be greatly appreciated. Let us know by emailing sidecars@classicmotorcycling.com.au
Thanks
Geoff

Does the passenger need to be over a certain age?

Ahhh yes, I did omit that small detail.
Said passenger is required to have passed their 45th birthday. |

Onya Mick, nothing like touring through the countryside smelling the daisies (and knocking the tops off em with yer head)
I'm filling in as sandbag on #21 this weekend at Collie here in the west (they finally got it passed for racing, great effort from all) hoping I can help Alan get a good result for round 1
good luck at the old farts, IMHO the best meeting anywhere |
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we may as well dance |

I'm happy to say I'm not old enough to do it, I have never been there, but was at Mallala last weekend.

Dunno about lobster Mick but you will get good company, a few laughs and quite likely a glass of red. What ever happens you are in for a good time.
We enjoy our remoteness over here (keeps you lot away) but miss out on the easy travel to events like this.
Enjoy

No, I can't guarantee the lobster (that is Stretch's department) but anyone is always welcome to join the crew at 'the bus' and yes, Alan has me sussed, there is almost always a glass of red involved...

Hey Mick, you looked good out there. Some of you will know that the green beast refused to play the game at the Mac Park so I got to watch you playing. It was good to watch. OK, I missed that first practice but on Sunday nobody would have known you were a newby! Maybe you'd like to come out and have some fun on a two stroke one day!
Cheers
