I've just been invited to Brands Hatch to watch my m8 race his sidecar set up (formula 2 LCR Honda) and a few of his classic machines including a Hailwood replica. This'll be cool there'll be about forty of us doing the run to Brands. I'm really stoked about this ... there's something about old bikes that I absolutely adore. I can get a go in the sidecar as a passenger .... sounds like fun. 8)

What a day. Brillaint fun. Didn't get to ride in the sidecar outfit though :( That Brands Hatch track is so cool. Beautiful English countryside. About forty of us ended up riding the 200 mile round trip.

I've lost control of my pic account so I'll re post later :mad:

It’s a lot of fun watching those old bikes race. I’m missing Mid-Ohio’s vintage races that are coming up in a couple weeks, but I ain’t missing Barber in October. They have the side car class too. Cool pix, thanks for sharing them.

Yep it's of the same family. Ours are bit special though .... the way in which we use 'em is a little too extreme for most ;D

Here we go .... here is a pic of my m8's LCR Honda sidecar outfit. It's so fast. Wish I'd had the chance to ride shotgun.
