Byron, I used to get scraped up pretty good when I was a sidecar monkey! Thank for the memory!

What is the point of the sidecar? A 2-for-1 at the local ER?

It was a take off on Motorcycle side hacks, lots of fun if you have a good "Monkee" and a down hill track..

I saw him with the E. German team along with the Russians at the 7-11 Olympic velodrome here in 83. The year before the Olympic. Our boy Mark Gorsky, beat the Russian world champ in the sprints. Damn, those guys had power.

Where's the bike now?

tires must have been 16-18"wide. first time I've seen it. it was a block down the street from me. didn't have plates yet. yeah... looks scary fast to me too. makes me want to pull out my 66 from the back yard and start working on it.

^^ if it actually runs, no front brakes with not much for rear brakes...looks like it belongs on a giant clothes dresser or desk. I can't understand the effort in rat rods.
