Cornering With A 3rd Wheel...

[zamfield]

So, looking at the TT races :yikes: it seems all you really need to do is get that passenger on the back that's not doing anything, moving around a bit more! :roflblack:

Love the sidecar races at the Isle Of Man: :thumbup:

I don't mind sayin' it... it's my balls; they ain't big enough for THAT!! :shocked:

I've heard that the passenger can use his body as an air-brake, to help with the cornering. When the chair is on the inside of the turn; they'll catch a bit of air with their upper bodies, to help the bike pivot... :bowdown:

This style of riding is surely not for the faint of heart. I'm Out! :roflblack:

Hi zamfield.

Re: the sidecar races

In the early years of the Indianapolis 500, the mechanics rode with the drivers.

Did anyone see the part where the passenger got thrown off when the driver got too close to the wall around to 40 seconds mark.

Disregarding the fact that the passenger may very well have been injured (Ouch), what happens then, is that vehicle disqualified from the race.

Yes, but more importantly... Can't take the corners without the passenger! LOL!
