What's the sidecar?

It's the red shift caused by time travel. It's actually 1990.

It's quite possible as although I was in Nottingham by then, due to housing shit I was coming back to London every weekend where my missus/daughter were until we'd sorted stuff in Notts.........

How can you tell, I'm intrigued, even our pet Inspector Giles couldn't work that out :blast

They're not proper hippies anyway. I can't see one bit of brightly coloured shite Nepalese clothing. Clothing so utterly shite that even the Nepalese won't wear it but ship it all over here to be sold on festival stalls by and for stoned hippies. Usually sold with healing crystals.

Ginger hippies have more class :)

PS Ain't it great how a thread on sidecars can turn into one about ginger hippies and women I wanted to shag ~ love it :)

It is indeed great but bear in mind where you are. You are in the sidecar section. Don't be surprised if some Derri booted, pipe smoking twerp tells you to stay on topic but will then regale you with the finest intricacies of his leading link front end.

Good point sir.

I went to a sidecar rally in Belgium once many years ago. Jesus suffering Christ, a more tedious group of people you would be hard pushed to find :D

I was on the committee of The London Sidecar Club for several years :D [1]

Andres

[1] That's where The Herberts thang originated, 'cos we got called a bunch of greasy herberts at one particularly heated committee meeting so decided to take the rip :D

We were eventually kicked out of the club for 'placing the reputation of the Federation Of Sidecar Clubs into disrepute' by turning up at the Mancunian Club's rally (and going out on ride-outs) not wearing crash helmets and various other 'high jinks' throughout the course of the weekend (with the emphasis on high) :D

It takes approximately 20 years to go from the Summer of Love via several ever cheesier sequels (except for the second one which inexplicably was better than the first) to Summer of Love IV (Ay up me ducks).;)

Sort of 'Cast of Fame' vs 'Steeleye Span'. Only in the UK:)

Andres.....Let it be known now you have an outfit.....if I ever see a pewter tankard in your chair a good slap about the chops with a wet fish will be administered. If I also see cloth badges sewn on your clothing with the words 'sidecar' or 'treffen' the same will apply. :D :bounce1:bounce1
 
Meanwhile, back in Albion Road; there was a chap who lived above one of the shops almost opposite The Albion, ran an old Harley (WL) with AJS barrels/heads, did you know him ?

Are tankards a thing in three wheel circles ?

I have an Ogri tankard so up yours.........

It's used as a seed scoop for the bird feeders in our garden :D

No, that doesn't ring any bells and re the tankard, yes, especially when attending the Dragon rally. You should also have one of those beer towel things sewn onto your cutoff :thumb

I literally used to follow fellow 'charioteers' off a roundabout to their destination in order to chat about leading links or somesuch.

Scary I know.

You started this shite and will see it out to its rightful conclusion.

I’ve got a sticker that has treffen on it attached to one of my panniers that just happens to be on the bike that will eventually resume its role of chair dragger. Can I have a slap with a wet fish please :D

If this sidecar section is going to spring to life and shed it’s image of being the final destination of old gimmers now might be a good time to say that plans are underway for a couple of us to attend the primustreffet next year and it’s the perfect place to come to terms with sliding a sidecar through corners on close to deserted roads.

None of that sitting in a chair soaking up the sun and drinking cold lager while pretending we’re living life to it’s fullest, we’re going for defrosting cans before you can even open them :blast
 
Only ever tried one outfit; and it scared the shit out of me;:D. Here's a Harbsa ; or Bsaley i spotted last year; along with his buddy; ferkin mental;

She's now home and keeping Katie company (I need a bigger garage!).........

Apart from being covered in WMB stickers and a million little LED marker lights :eek: she's lovely, really lovely. I won't get a chance to ride her today but Saturday's forecast is looking good :thumb2
