That 2nd sidecar looks like it has a Kawasaki KZ900/1000.  My (in boxes) Fiddeman run 13" slicks like that rig.

It must feel great having that engine working away inches from your chest.  :)

That's a turn I'd really like to have a go at.  Similar to Mosport's Turn 2, only in reverse.

I know you can't compare it but I tried that track so many times on pc games, not once did I get it right.

That turn is near the middle of the "cork-screw". I spent most of my time, and film money there.  ;D

Always thought that it was getting the turn in right at the top of the corkscrew; that was the secret to a good line down through the rest.
