Move over, Ben-Hur!


Reader Steven S. sent me the link to this video of an Australian police motorcycle display team from 1933.





Did any American or other display teams do something similar?  If so, please let us know in Comments, and if possible, provide a link to the video or report.

    No video or links but I did see a single bike chariot at Biketoberfest in Daytona in '06 or '07. They are out there but they are rare.

    Sidecarcross (Motorcross with sidecars) is similar and modern. Also pretty cool:
