    What a marvellous surprise of a Wednesday video! The Interceptor looks like it's a lot of fun as a sidecar outfit! And that Bullet 350 is smashing in that red colour. Not to mention that lovely old Land Rover I spy in Lindsay's garden. Marvellous! 😁

    Thank you, enjoyed that Mr TAYM. I might be tempted when my body ages some more 😂. I guess it would take a bit of getting used to, after years of riding solo 😳. Do you remember the “Sidewinder” sidecars, lads were fitting to their bikes in the 80’s, to by-pass the new learner laws ? They tilted when the bike was lent over. 😅.

    Madness!!! 😱 Only been a passenger in a sidecar once. Moto Guzzi Spada. A friend had had an accident, blanked out and was banned for 2 years from riding solos. He called round and took me out. Up a steep hill and out onto the main road. Incidentally where the shop was in Open All Hours. 😂Years ago - seem to feel the sidecar was on the other side but I may be wrong? Pulling out onto the main road, did not like it car wheels were taller! 😱😱😂 Madness I tell you, madness! 😂

    That sidecar might be my possible future to stay in the elements. Not sure they sell them here as they are few and far between. I know we have three world renowned companies that make them here. Thank you for an experience. The ride in the luggage compartment was a little cramped, it would have been nice to have switched places half way on that trip.

    It great to see bikes with sidecars and that pair looks the business. I remember my brother had a bike with a sidecar and cannot even remember the model of the bike but the body was made out of a wooden pallet, I kid you not. I imagine riding the bullet will test mental agility, back brake and gear shift swapped around, folk struggle with Honda swapping the horn with indicator so this would be carnage haha. Great vid 👍

    Very interesting video TAYM.
    Of course Ruby is absolutely desperate for me to get a sidecar myself, she'd love to come along with me for every ride. She would be totally up for it, I have no doubt at all !
    I have made tentative enquiries with Watsonian and am waiting for more information. Garage space is likely to be the problem though, plus, it will ruin my riding enjoyment, so I'm not quite sure how I'd feel about it really, should I ever have one. Sidecar outfits are much rarer out here in Spain, as you can probably imagine, so Ruby would certainly be turning heads should I get one.
    Very interesting 🤔
    Cheers TAYM and thanks for the doggy pics !!!

    That sidecar is very posh. Not like the two seater my dad used to have with the leaky hood and plastic windows - me in the back and mum in the front with my brother on her knee. Not sure what the bike was but it may have been a Rudge. I know he had a couple of Rudge and a Velocette. He stopped with the bikes by the time I was seven and it was cars all the way down after that.
    Nor like the one a mate had in our late teens. An old 500 Triumph with a wooden box on the side that had an old car seat bolted in. Plus he road it like a maniac.
