Oh man! What a glorious sound. When they come by at speed! Headphones, volume all the way up: instant wood.

Gave me goose bumps watching it, brilliant.

I love the Aussies, a true breed of competitive warriors. freshly bred from the motherland of ENGLAND!!

IMPRESSIONNANT ! SUPER SIDE-CAR ARTICULE !

Great sounding!

Now, that's what is called 'motor' sport... 🖖😎😋

Fantastic sound!

This is madness!

Awesome

Nice.I enjoyed that.

Thumbs Up ! Had To Watch It Twice

Love it.Torquey as hell.

A big vinney some machine love it they have done a great job building it a mate of mine had one he had to go on the curb to start it he was 5 ft nothing

Bloo y good one Good sports you Australians Great to see mate Id rather see this than 100 new bikes there all the same in 2 wheel speedwayGood luck Pete Eastbourne I wish we had more sidecars in UK track meets

Fantastic exhaust note!....

What an awesome use for a HRD motor! Somehow,while I completely understand that the whole thing is an integral part of Australian motorcycle history,I don't think anybody would believe that narrow minded soulless people, would still not be able to enjoy the thrill of motorcycles racing on horse race tracks to continue,certainly not as long as this! I think that the SPIRIT of the riders of that day was such that they'd enjoy the road, and dirt tracks we have, and would want their machines to be RACED HARD and enjoyed.

Sidecar rider syndrome. Known to Psychiatrists by the term "just plain nuts"

South Australian sidecar ace, Len Bowes had a supercharged Vincent outfit. I think he bought it off a bloke in the US who used it as drag bike. I thought it was a complete write off after an epic crash at Claremont Speedway in Perth, but later heard it was rebuilt and sold. Is this the same Vincent?

Well its called History, Aussies have used Vincents in Speedway sidecars since the 50s. You do realise that you can buy brand new Vincent engines dont you? They are made in both the UK and Australia, as well as the J.A.P. V twin engine.

Real sidecars have V twins. And I doubt that particular one ever looked that good ever. In its retirement it spent some time at the Birdwood Mill museum coated in about 2" of Rowley dolomite absorbing the oil! AFAIK that was the only supercharged Vincent sidecar and it really cracks. And that really is what killed them, trying to quieten them. Len Bowes went on with his ring a ding things though the Vincents were still winning a few years later. Neil Munro Oz champion in 73. I would love to see a modern Vincent engine in one, not at least 65 years of metal fatigue. though again noise would kill it.

What an awful use for an HRD motor! Somehow, while I like to think of the whole thing as an interesting foot-note of motorcycle history, I don't think anybody had intended the cross-over of motorcycles and horse race-tracks to continue, certainly not as long as this! I think the SPIRIT of the riders of that day was such that they'd admire the roads and tracks we have, and would want their machines on the TARMACK!
