Great set of photos. I really like the side car shot. I think you have to be very brave riding in there.

The sidecar riders are a brave bunch. A few more shots of the sidecars.

Very nice, good angles. Like the shot of the sidecars keeping a bike a bike, and only using 2 wheels :-)

Love #2. The concentration and what appears to be maybe a little fear or anxiety in the eyes of the sidecar passenger/counterweight makes it a powerful shot IMO.

Imagine the concentration when they missed the corner.

Looks fine to me. Here's another, I like the way the afternoon sun has silhouetted the riders.

Great sidecar shots. You can see why they call them "monkeys" :).

I think this guy could be called a gorilla, not much chance of lifting the wheel with him hanging.....
