Dave Molyneux: Sidecar Supreme (Part One)

Joining Chris and Steve on The TT Podcast this week is a Manxman who’s currently the 4th most successful TT competitor of all time. Dave Molyneux raced at his first TT in 1985 and since then, has won 17 times.

As well as explaining how his emotions on the startline have changed in the last 37 years, Dave tells the guys about the years leading up to his first races. He talks about his background as a mechanic, and how as a young man he chose jobs he thought would set him up well for a life as an independent rider.

Explaining why he’s always raced sidecars and not solo bikes, Dave talks about his dad’s influence, and how he had a trike as a kid.

Dave also talks about the only time he had an interest in 2 wheel bikes, when he looked after the machinery for fellow Manxman Graeme Cannell - and the job offer he turned down so he could pursue his own racing career.

The podcast also gets Dave’s thoughts on the differences between short-circuit and road racing, including his time at the Ulster Grand Prix.
