Hill climb video archive action - sidecar crash at Barbon.

Today I have been digitising some old camcorder footage of speed hill
climbs from the early 90's.

Despite initial concern both rider and passenger of this outfit walked
away OK.



More to be uploaded to Youtube later including some rare footage of me
on the Husky 510 and Morini 2C/375 I am currently rebuilding. Looking
even slower than I remembered.

Can't be a real Morini - the suspension is going up and down.

Heh - specially tuned Paoili forks[1] by replacing a spacer on top of
the springs with old Morini valve springs. I think by then I had Koni
dampers on the back of it rather than the pathetic Sebac[2] originals.

[1][2] This is a '250' (though with 375 motor) not a 3 1/2.
