Sidecar Warriors: The Forgotten Heroes of Motorcycle Racing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798901944752)

Most people know the legends of solo motorcycle racing. Few know the warriors who raced with a third wheel and a second life in their hands.

Sidecar Warriors is a sweeping, vivid history of sidecar racing, one of the most physically demanding and least understood disciplines in motorsport. It traces the sport from its practical beginnings through its heroic early years, the rise of the great European teams, the terror and glory of the Isle of Man TT, the technical revolutions that transformed the machines, and the loyal paddock culture that kept the class alive even after mainstream attention moved elsewhere.

This is the story of drivers and passengers, factories and privateers, crashes and comebacks, memory and survival. Above all, it is the story of a forgotten brotherhood of racers whose courage was shared, whose machines defied convention, and whose achievements deserve to be remembered.

For readers of motorsport history, motorcycle culture, and great untold sporting stories, Sidecar Warriors brings the forgotten heroes of racing back into the light.
