    Just came across this YouTube video of ex World Champion sidecar passenger (1953) Stan Dibben.

    Total respect Stan.

    You don't have to be mad to be a sidecar racer but...no, actually you do. You have to be quite mad.

    Wow, that was awesome! Thanks for sharing this amazing video about an even more amazing man, Tiglet. This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long while. :cool: I’ll be sharing it with lots of my riding buddies, that’s for sure! :grinning:

    Quite a fella...you certainly have to trust your team mate not to leave you head on the verge on a tight corner.
