Jaydeez Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Having only ever been on a motorbike once in my life. Can anyone tell me if you buy a motorcycle and sidecar, can you fit the side car on either side or would you need to buy the said thing in france so that it is on the correct side.....strange question I know but there you go!

Bob T Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 If you fit the sidecar on the other side then I assume that the sidecar wheel would be next to the riders foot! I would say that to avoid the complexities of trying to obtain a certificate of conformity for a UK sourced outfit, it might be much easier and cheaper to try and find one in France.

[/quote][:D][:D][:D]Not too good on corners with that combinationHave a look at one of theseVespa but Piaggio also do one similar. I'm told that they ride very well and have the security that you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I strongly suggest hireing borrowing or stealing a motorcycle and sidecar before you buy one. They corner very differently depending on whether you are going round the bike or round the chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 A few years ago we were staying at a friend's house in Charente. Across the lane was a workshop whose owner imported these Ural combos from Russia, then used 2CV parts to convert them to all-wheel drive! They were amazing bits of kit, with all 3 wheels powered!M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I have ridden a friend's URAL. 25 years on most of his spanners which came with the bike are still in his toolkit. I think the thing on the front of the side car may be a machine gun mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
