Sidecar racing, its been in big in Europe for years but never really caught on over here. My old boss raced sidecar through the 70s, he was the 'monkey' you'll know why they call them that when you see the vid, the 'sidecar' is more of a flat platform you hang your *** off of a few inches off the ground. Pretty crazy trying to climb around and hanging on to a bike going 90mph!
