Sig change

Burnt of this parish has just departed Wunderland aboard his
three-wheeled conveyance of doom. Assuming he survives the trip home,
the Pan will be his.

He's also got a *massive* Vetter fairing that will set the front of the
outfit off a treat when he finds a way to bodge it into position.

Surely a retail career beckons?

Oh, got back fine and all in one piece. No issues at all. I really
think that the bag of cement made a lot of difference in the sidecar.

So that's 300 miles today (near as dammit) with only a couple of
'coughs'; see other thread re cause (vacuum tap... hoped). Mind you, it
won't comfortably do more than 75-80 and likes to cruise at about 60-65,
maybe 55-60 if uphill.

Regarding the Vetter, will start bodging attempts soon, however whether
it stays on will depend very much on the impact on the top speed.

I've got a suspicion that a 500cc bike isn't enough to pull a sidecar on
a motorway. A GT750 is starting to seem tempting...

 

Ypu should talk to Statto....

 

You may wish to consider going up a tooth or two on the back sprocket.

3 or 4 teeth, perhaps.

The Ural will indicate 70, absolutely flat out in favourable conditions. On
the motorway, I cruise at 55-60 and overtake the occasional truck.

 

wouldn't you be better off with something like a Bedford Rascal?

 

Or one of those funny little van type things that Clouseau used when
he was disguised as the pool man.

 

Platy?

Surely not, I thought he was straight.

 

it's just a beard.

 

now you're thinking of TOG.

 

Hmm... that's the chap I bought the 500 off. I knew he was a trader but
to be honest didn't (and don't) worry greatly.

However this looks like a better buy than mine was. Dammit.

 

He's really not right in the head is he?

Absolutely. I'd have had it at that price and if I could make the
chair fir the K I'd have sold the GT on to someone else.

 

I'd have expected to pay that for the GT on its own, let alone with a
chair attached.

Shame about the Motad exhaust ;-)

 

No cars on site. Otherwise I could take the Fuglipla.

 

Well, given that I let you persuade me to go to the Elefantentreffen...
probably not.

 

Would I expect you to do anything I wouldn't do myself?

 

you didn't take much persuading.

Well, that's true enough I suppose.

 

It's amazing that after a decade of sidecar derision UKRM is trying to
corner the UK market in SOS
