EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the 1981 Isle of Man TT Sidecar Race, featuring the legendary team of Des Founds and Jim Craig aboard their Rumble Kawasaki machine. The Sidecar TT is one of the most thrilling and physically demanding races in motorcycle road racing, and Des and Jim were among the best in the business during this era. Des Founds, the skilled driver, and Jim Craig, the powerful passenger, formed a formidable partnership that saw them dominate the Sidecar class throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their Kawasaki was a force to be reckoned with, and they pushed the limits of what was possible on two wheels and a sidecar. The 1981 TT was a particularly memorable race for the team, as they battled against fierce competition from the likes of the LCR Honda team and other top Sidecar outfits. The race was held in typical Isle of Man weather conditions, with heavy rain making the already treacherous Mountain Course even more challenging. Des and Jim navigated the course with remarkable skill and determination, eventually crossing the finish line in first place, securing their victory in the Sidecar TT. This photograph captures the moment of triumph as they celebrate their win, with Des raising his helmet in victory and Jim pumping his fist in the air. The Rumble Kawasaki Sidecar was a machine of its time, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its riders and the engineering prowess of its creators. Des and Jim's success in the 1981 TT is a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of motorcycle road racing on the Isle of Man.
