Too old for sidecars!!
Hi Ian, too old for sidecars now, I learnt to ride a motorbike on a BSA 600 sidevalve with sidecar frame with a box fitted[used to retrieve glider launch cable], would love one though. At my age no longer agile enough, had to give up as RYA Sailing Instructor as I couldn't move around dinghys quickly enough anymore[many unintentional capsizes].
Luckily I can still just get my leg over my bikes for a ride out!!!.......................stariderLast edited by starider; 21/02/2018, 10:49 PM.

Ha, fair enough! I have 2 trials chairs, one bought from a club member in Yorkshire, who had it on a Greeves. Another a bit more modern off a Bultaco.
Having recently moved and needing to build a workshop, space is tight, and with no immediate plans to attach one to a bike, I am sure I will never use two!
It seemed like a good idea at the time!
Cheers. Ian

Major project!! price paid!!!!
Hi, sold for 775 pounds?? Was it really worth that much? Very strange bidding, have a look at how the bidding went.
Still if you have the spare cash I suppose you can invest in such a huge project.
Good luck to the purchaser, would like to see the finished bike.................starider

I think you will find that the 'winner' put in a high maximum bid, which in the normal run of things would only top the next bid by £20, or whatever the increment is; except when there this a reserve. In that case, if the winner's maximum bid is in excess of the reserve, it will automatically jump up to the reserve figure. That is how you get a big leap like that. I am guessing the reserve was £750. It is just the way e-bay works.
