Title: What a way to go !
Post by: Speedy1959 on Saturday, 08 April 2023, 02:08 PM
Yesterday (Friday) I was at a local bike meet up spot (Caton near Lancaster) and racebike and sidecar outfit turned up..
After he had gone for a coffee I commented to a mate that the side car looked way too posh for actually racing.
I then noticed rollers and chrome rails on it..
Can you guess ? (I did)
I asked the owner if it was for carrying coffins..
Thats exactly what it was for.. He reckoned its the 1st purpose built rig in the world for that purpose.
I am not well up with racebikes at all but he reckoned it was a genuine Suzuki race bike of some sort (you may well know more than I do about that).
