1973 Sidecar Motocross machine - and now for something completely different

Adrenalin? And now for something completely different: a sidecar cross machine. Has the thrill gone out of racing? You say your Suzuki 400 MX or stage three 501 Maico is kind of tame? Enthusiastic about the CMA's new $1500 death and disability insurance for all members? Here's the answer to your prayers.

All you have to do is get a few like-minded souls together and get a few of these rigs running in your region, and we'll have a whole new class. For the serious people, information and prices can be had through your friendly neighborhood Harry Firth, or Norton in Montreal.

Some general stuff: frames are Renolds 531 and carry oil in the tubes. Swinging arm suspension all around. Nickel plated frames. Available with left or right sidehack, and available with a Norton 750, or to fit your engine. They'll take 4 stroke twins of 750cc, Honda 4's, and big 2 stroke motocross mills. Will probably take anything that you're devious enough (or desperate enough) to wedge into it. Bear in mind that initially you're going to have to agree with the rest of the guys on a class size, probably 750 because there's a couple ready to go in that class already. What are you waiting for? Let's see a class race by fall! And write the magazine for a free list of volunteer monkeys.
