only caught a replay of the sidecar bikes, considering they're not as outright quick as the solo bikes they still seem to have balls of steel. Especially the passenger! At one point one bike caught up with the one in front, spent a bit of time trying to get past and in the end went into the back of him. Unfortunately, I'm fairly sure it was the passengers foot he hit rather than the bike!

Although in the best locost tradition I was wondering what it would take to make one of those roadworthy...

I'm pretty sure it would need a full IVA as MSVA would need 2 of the 3 wheels to be on a shared L-R axle.

Surely it would be tested as a motorcycle and sidecar Scootz?

And just to confirm that the passengers are all indeed a bit loopy here's a pic of me passengering an F1 outfit. 200 bhp/225kg...
