Sidecar Outfit?

TTR · Powermonger!!

I think the Hamster may have an outfit in his back garden that needs exercise......

jt · Powermonger!!

My son (the idiot) put himself forward to ride shotgun in that thing.....I told him to shut his gob as he din't know what he was looking at or more importantly who the pilot was disbelief

Many many years ago I got talked into doing a trial in as a sidecar passenger. If I remember rightly it wasn't far from Haccadown. One of the most painful things I've ever done relating to bikes (them sidecars are heavy when they land on you lol).

My missus just read Kev's post and asked what sort of outfit he wants to wear in a sidecar. How I laughed biggrin

You should go to Simms to watch the Exeter trial and see for yourself the terrified looks on the passengers in the outfits. Wouldn't do that if you paid me.

A sidecar like this would be comfy, its what I call a chair! My Grandad is there getting out ofthe way of his mate!

We used to go to school everyday on my Dad's MZ 250 with a sidecar on it - Great fun :P

Dad & Me on the MZ my brother nestled in the sidecar! Lots of memories of going on 2 wheels round left right hand corners!

Those were the days :D

Kevin, a mate of mine has nearly finished a sidecar project he has been working on. It's a bit rough and ready at the moment but your welcome to try it out if you want.

Nowadays, a motorcycle sidecar might not arouse the same ecstasy as it used to bikes in early days, but the latest vehicle by Francois Knorreck is a sidecar with difference that gives an entirely new definition to the sidecars. Dubbed "Snaefell," the 1000cc Laverda motorcycle has three exhausts, and its sidecar offers a luxury ride in comparison to regular sidecars. The designer has employed different parts of a Kawasaki 1000RX and a number of cars to accomplish the motorcycle sidecar, which took 10 years and nearly 15,000 Euros to combine biking and luxury car ride in a single vehicle.
