Thanks Malcolm. I've spoken with Dave, and a space at the school is on hold, pending paper work.

Hi Brian,

Let me extend my own welcome to you. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person.
I was wondering who you would be showcasing as your Passenger/Monkey?

I ask this because if they have not passengered before they would have to attend the Sidecar school as well. We like to ensure the passengers know when/how to move on the rig and more importantly, how to 'hang on' :D

Regards,
Jan

Thanks for the welcome Jan.

It was the pictures of the #457 rig (your's :) ), taken at Mosport that helped sealed it for me, and start the hunt. They've also established the presentation / prep level I'll be shooting for. That said, my personal standard is pretty high to begin with. The picture is my 77 550/4 cafe. The frame / swingarm mods were done by Denis & Byron at CMR to my templates, and requests.

I've been holding off on a 'Monkey required' post, until I had the rig in hand. My preference would be for someone with experience, so I can concentrate on the driving side. If not, as you said, we'll both be required to attend the school. Well, we'll both need to be there either way, or that 1st turn will get very interesting. :D

Cheers,
Brian
