SURE SIDECAR A RACE

Sidecar A Race



Yellow Peril

Flaming orange

Lucky No 7





U is for united. That's what the sidecar team have to be.Working in tandem as you can see. U is form uniform they wear. U is for my universal images that find themselves around the globe.
U if for U have probably had enough of me banging on about the bikes, but honest it's only two weeks of the year and one of those is practice week. This is race week. These images were taken from Taubman Street, the Sure Sidecar Race A.

  1. Great shots again.

    I remember my dad had an old sidecar, but not for racing. I remember having a ride in it once, I can't have been older than 6 or 7. I bet heath and safety wouldn't let that happen now.

  3. Now that would make a great shot on my website you as the passenger in a sidecar race and Mrs Nesbitt driving. Looked out for her and her duck at the Sprint today with no luck at all. Looked out for you as well but no luck on that front either. Still there's a few days left. Cracking photos yet again.

  27. The sidecar races must be interesting! I've never driven one, though I do have my full motorbike licence. Actually, I've never taken a pillion passenger either!

    How lovely to have Mrs N visiting the island! Have a great time! :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. That looks like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to ride in a sidecar, but not at that speed. When going fast, I like to be in control!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Looks fascinating and sufficiently scary.

    ReplyDelete

  31. hanging my head in shame.. My U is a snore compared to this razzmatazz!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the colors and designs. I guess if the rider in the sidecar falls off, he doesnt have far to fall.

    ReplyDelete
  33. No apologies, I am enjoying the TT. Just need to add a bit of noise and petrol smell.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Cool! But are you the driver or the passenger?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Now this looks like fun! Hope you and Denise get to meet up; I can just picture the two of you in one of these races:) Thanks for hosting this week, Babooshka!

  36. Those guys in the side cars must have buns of steel (literally). They must feel every bump in the road!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh my goodness! How exciting!
    Perfect U!

  42. After reading yours and other U posters, I am astounded at all the words beginning with U! Took me a while to figure out even one word.
    I don't understand the first thing about racing, but your photos really capture the cars.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Have you and Denise chosen your united colours for the race. Atmospheric photos and so close.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Canceled Sidecar B. Will they reschedule race? Yellow peril my favorite. What lens did you use for that image?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Good set of photos and should help to keep the wolf from the door for a while.

    I didn't know it was being televised. Might have a look to see when it's on & see if I can spot you.

  46. Gail's Man - Not watching but Babooshka has been waving all week.Well in her way of course.



    Donnie Sidecar B canceled indefinitely for this year.

  47. I must add that U also stands for Manchester United.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Now I'd pay folding money to see you hanging out the back of the sidecar like that. What a hoot!

    ReplyDelete
  49. It is always fun to play with the camera.
