Hi Guys

Thought you might like this little snippet of a 4-cylinder CB72 based racing sidecar. This was in the October 1965 Motorcyclist Illustrated.

Hello

Thats a great sidecar G-Man just think twice the trouble but only one and a half times the wheels !
Still on the plus side you would hardly need a passenger with the weight of a extra CB72 engine in the " chair ".

Hi guys,
thought I'd share this picture with you. Picked up the bike last year, was apparently raced by an Australian called Dave Bloxan (I'll have to check the spelling on that!) and is clearly a hand made frame. the little paper label attached to it also said something about Read Titan 350. Sadly that engine wasn't anywhere to be seen when I bought it!
Does the racers name ring any bells??
I took the picture as soon as I got it home...no space in the garage so it currently sits by the front door. I'll try and wheel it out into the garden this weekend and take some better pictures!

cheers,seb.

That's a nice looking project! Double disc frond end looks good. What's it off?

It's a full Campagnolo setup (discs, calipers and levers). Sadly both the inner pad carriers are missing so it's non-functional. Info on them as far as I can tell in non-existent so I'm not sure on the design of the bits that's missing!

Seb,

Any idea when that bike was raced and if it was raced in the UK or Australia? It's always interesting to dig up old bike racing history and to save the story.

I'd like to see some good pictures of it - especially the details.
