The Aries Square cylinder layout was unique in an era when 90%
of motorcycles were single cylinder or V-twin design. Originally conceived in the 1930's, it was developed into the final version you see here.'

This fantastic work of art was built and ridden by Derek Rumble with many passengers but one of them was a good friend of mine from when i was 16 years old many xxx years ago, a guy called Doug Jewell,who also got me into racing as i took over from him as passenger to a guy called Paul crellin, Derek and Doug had a bad crash in the isle of man jurby road race on a modern outfit which put Derek out of racing for good and almost killed Doug,but he recovered and went on to race as passenger to Derek's son,Derek rumble jnr who i also know, and the pair done really well together.
so this was a great chance for me to have my photo taken on the outfit,as i had known at least 3 men that had ridden it.
The shot was taken by Ian hughes for which i am very grateful.
Thank's Ian much appreciated.........and thank's for letting me post it here cheers mate.
Sidecar racing at the 2025 Queensland Historic Road Racing Championships held at Morgan Park Raceway.
Found in the never ending "box" of family photos. I'd say how many photos I think we've looked through, but nobody believes it, so I won't bother. Lets just say I started this exercise two years and 50 weeks ago! Obviously I "put it down and pick it up again" so to speak - its not been a constant thing, but I can only face doing a bit at a time. What is "doing my head in" is the repetition - lots of family members had the same photo and the collection/archive I'm sorting through is basically everyone's photos :-( going back to the late 1800s.
This shot is of some interest as I hadn't realised there was any interest in motorcycling in previous generations. For all I know the BSA and sidecar might not have been owned by a family member, but there are definitely some family members in the shot.
Adults and kids all wearing hats :-)
A bit of crazy sidecar action from the 2022 Queensland Historic Road Racing Championships held at Morgan Park Raceway.

The Dutch photojournalist Willem van de Poll took this photo of a motorcycle with a sidecar in Rome in December 1937. The advertisement is for the newspaper Il Popolo d´Italia, founded by Mussolini. (It could have been a delivery bike). My colorization of an image in the Dutch National Archive.
Derby Phoenix Club Bike Racing - Cadwell Park - 3.5.2009. Suzuki 600-Peter farrely and Jason Miller (in front) having a right dust up. I like the way Miller, the passenger, is looking back at the following outfit.
Dampf-Kraft-Wagen (German: steam-driven car) or DKW is an historic car and motorcycle marque. In 1916, the Danish engineer Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen founded a factory in Saxony, Germany, to produce steam fittings. In the same year, he attempted to produce a steam-driven car, called the DKW. Although unsuccessful, he made a two-stroke toy engine in 1919, called Des Knaben Wunsch — "the boy's desire". He also put a slightly modified version of this engine into a motorcycle and called it Das Kleine Wunder — "the little marvel". This was the real beginning of the DKW brand: by the 1930s, DKW was the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer.
This 1939 DKW motorcycle and sidecar, XBV 283, is seen en route to a 1940s village-at-war event in Surrey.
