Motto: spend all the money you can find
I started his sidecar career as passenger for -87, with drivers as Peter
Warfinge , Reijo Nurmi & Benjamin Syrstad.
In the summer of -93 i had no one to ride with and bought a chassie
in Denmark from Brian Magnusson.
By now I had found a driver in Henrik Viinapuu, formerly a very good
passenger.
Pictured
below: me, supermechanic Matte Jäderlund & Henrik after our
first race on Gälleråsen/Karlskoga. We finished 2nd.
In august
of -94 we went to Anderstorp for a race in the Danish championship.
In the previous races we had some very good results and hopes were high,
but during a practice session we had a crash.
We had one weel outside the track going in to a turn and spun of, reversed
in to an armco.
I got in between the sidecar and armco, the result was spinal injury
and a wheelchair.
SHIT HAPPENS !!
I
didnt loose my interest for racing and one year later i started to help
Henrik and my replacement Nicke Lindberg.
One race was held at the Artic Raceway in MoiRana in Norge, the evening
before the race we walked the track,
the sight of this super track made me decide right then and there to
start racing again.
In
Augusti of 2000 i started to build my own bike, the reason that it took
a few years to get started was that i first got a new education and
job.
I was also determined to have better equipment then last time.
Up to this point a lot of money has gone in to the bike and it is great
to be back.
See you out there.
BRGDS.
