Anyone who thinks an outfit is wimpy has never ridden one. I used to passenger on a 1000 Vincent outfit in 1969/70-we lapped Brands in 60secs(which was lap record)-which ain't bad considering it was 34 years ago.
Sidecars is a whole different world guys.
Going back to the outfit pictured, I used to see an 888 outfit at Brands WSB everyear, guy who rode it was paralised from waist down. He just rolled his wheelchair into the sidecar bit, heaved himself onto the seat, strapped his feet to specially modified pegs, and blasted off-good luck to him I say, at least he is still riding his bike.
