[Uncle T]

For reasons not really known I was toying with doing this to my 1200 Adventurer.

Some advice required - usual comments expected got loads of questions to ask.

Cheers me dears

Nooooooooo buy a sports car instead

 

[Uncle T]

I'm soooooo sorry but it may have to be done

For no other reason than it can be done and life on just two wheels at the moment is just boring.

WHAT ??? BORING ??? Sounds like you need a change of bike rather than add a 3rd wheel, it does look nice tho. I have never thought biking would ever be called boring. Try going faster, leaning lower, aiming for rabbitts !!

I'd concider doing a BMW off-road course to rejuvenate your interest again....rather than putting a sidecar on your bike!

It'll put a bike smile on your face if nothing else!

 

[Bryn]

Like the matching sidecar wheel though

Its The Magregor Family vehicle for Long way up

I do know they're is a guy who was doing the Round Britain Rally who has an R1150GS with a similar sidecar attached but with leading link forks - will see if I can find his contact details for you.

ya wha'?!
i know you er... like a challenge
but FFS!
you wont be bored with a chair, for sure -

~as it lifts and comes up to meet you on left handers
~as the outift drifts and the rear Bike wheel tries to combat cornering forces on right handers
~as you go for gaps - forgetting the chairs attached (your passenger will love you for that )

oh yeah.... that will cure boredom alright!

yer mad - but then we both know that.

hey - get a Guzzi instead....

I think it looks sort of OK though i'd prefer a more rugged looking sidecar for a GS, but if that's what you like, go for it

'Outfits' are fun, not practical compared to cars or bikes but they are fun

I've been toying with the idea, I like riding bikes but I also like going away for the weekend with the missus and dogs. The sidecar seems to tick the boxes I need ticked.

My dad used to take the family away for two week camping trips on a 600 panther outfit in the 60's, him & my mum, me and my sister and a dog, I can't ever remember being unhappy when we were away

I'd never choose a sidecar for commuting for obvious reasons but as a carthorse I'm sure it would do the job fine

[Uncle T]

Thanks folks.

Sheps ticked boxes are the ones I want to tick.

Even got one (like this) of these already for the rear rack

Ogmios has got the right idea for riding "unbordemness" but a Guzzi

Grin Rider that would be excellent if you can get the contact details.

[Stumpy]

Tarka would implode working out whether he liked it or not. Loves sidecars ,hates 1200s

 

[Coolpan]

I use my 1200GSA for my commute to work everyday when we had snow last month, I left the GS in the garage and took my trusty 400 Dream, (well you cant drop that can you!!!) Happieness is a wet dream,
I dont think I'd want the chair on the GS though......

Snap, except for the fact I had a brother not a sister and no dog.

We did however tow a trailer carrying a 10' grp boat with a small outboard motor. All the camping gear used to go in the boat.

XXV 177, I'd love to know if it's still alive.

Hello U-T,have you checked the dauntless motors site in U.S? they have some gsa's with ural sidecars fitted,look very tough.
I contacted him and he is willing to ship to U.K but at a price! if you are interested maybe we can crate them together and share cost.
Unit side cars in essex also do a outfit for the gs but very expensive and fiberglass so very light and not up to the job imo

 

[vilguy]

you could just buy this and modify it to fit.
