On Spike TV tonight, 7pm Pacific time, James will try to motorcycle side car race. Promos looked interesting, especially to someone[like me] who has never seen that type of racing.

The racing footage with JJ Filmed several months ago at Willow Springs with the SRA West teams providing the outfits. Lots of European footage in the program as well. Let's hope Hollywood doesn't set the sport of roadracing sidecars back to far!!

At this point any publicity is good publicity for sidecars. It's a much overlooked aspect of motorcycle sport. Talk to any spectator at Speedway or a road circuit and the outfits are a big hit. They are flat fun to watch and what an experience aboard! I'm a changed man after my first ride at Ruapuna, in more ways than one!! :wink:
 Larry, the Kal-Guard outfit at Ontario and Riverside was so awsome. Thanks for the memories!
