Triumph sidecars - numptydad - 05-06-2015
I've been hearing a couple of Triumph engined sidecars blast off the line for practice, but they don't appear in the timings later. Does anyone know their progress, they certainly sound good, but then so does the Norton Superbike, and look what that's not doing

Sean Hegarty and Roy Tansley are bothing using Triumphs. Like anything new (I don't think there has been a triumph engine in a sidecar since the 70's?) it is a development year and I know I have seen reports from Nick Crowe/Dave Hudspeth in relation to Sean's outfit saying they are working on 'Teething Problems'
If anyone can ge the thing running right it will be Nick and I dare say he will also help Roy out with technical info if he works it out.
Sounds mega though right?

Yes indeed, like the old push rod engine - but on steroids!
