Caught the word sidecar a few times but aside from that I had no problem in understanding them especially with the big grins on their faces.

that was awesome! Check out the Bosch Headlight on the opening photo of the Scout. They used a thumb lever on the handle bars to operate the dimmer switch. It actuated a cable that physically moved the bulb! It was all mechanical.
I also loved the tire pump clamped to on of the tow bikes forks. Great stuff! Many thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked it Fred! The old footage is as close as I've come to time travel.... I'm missing a few parts for the flux capacitor but when I get it figured I'll take the digital back and get some good footage in living color...

Now we know that Lucy is fluent in Czech there may be more clips to follow......

A TV ad you say? What were you thinkin'? Some kind of antiperspirant commercial?

Great Flick !! Thanks Cory, I love the sidecar rigs out on the track. I rode behind Mike Lang two years ago, he was on Gene Baron's Flexi outfit at Davenport for the Gene Baron tribute. It was a thrill for me just to watch that chassis flex ! Maybe someday we'll be racing sidecars, sign me up !!!Carl Estes Pusherman Racing
