You just brighten my day every time! 😀
Loved this video!
You make it what it is, a bit of a masterpiece to us at home!
My uncle had a Panther and side car in the 70’s and 80’s, he taught me how to ride a bike when I was 12, on his Royal Enfield 350.
The bikes you review, and the humorous and fun presentation style make this channel truly gripping! 👍🏼🙂
A truly motor for the masses of family! Great to have them on board on your adventures! Very entertaining as you always do! The only thing is, I prefer to leave the family at home whilst I do the adventure!🤣😉✅
Can feel that pain when you stalled at the intersection.
Love the kick start action when you change gear 😂😂
I’ve mounted a Vinder (Indian made) sidecar on my 2020 RE Classic and what a buzz. Mounted led indicators and brake lights to ‘car (less current draw. Took a while to get it tracking correctly. But a year later all is good. I have 20 kg in the boot when running solo, makes for better left turns. Controls ‘normal’ for gears and foot brake. South Island NZ. Touring plains and southern alps. Retirement is fun!
Keep up the great vlogs, cheers.
Last winter (2019-2020) I found and restored a KMZ Dnepr MT sidecar motorcycle. They were sold in the UK as Cossack Motorcycles. In 1992 after the collapse of the Soviet Union importation into the USA was approved so that's how mine got here in Alabama. I love it! It's the most fun motorcycle I have ever owned. It's kick start only and I also killed the engine like you did. You've got to get off the bike to kick start it so I pushed it off to the side of the road as I had to dismount anyway. I've never did that again! My bike is a copy of a 1938 BMW R71 with few changes so it's like owning and operating a 1930's motorcycle and it looks like one as well.
Those neutral finders are great fun. I would love a go on that. Great seeing all the family out having fun. Those old bikes need a bit of thought and forward planning.
I have a 2011 500 with a Cozy sidecar. I discovered sidecars have their own... rules.... and the first couple hundreds miles involved many conservations with God ! :)
Also have 2011 bullet aš my first bike. Really want a sidecar. What are the main concerns?
@@MiskoInspektorius Sidecars have their own set of rules. They are driven... not ridden. It's like a strong headed horse..once you and the horse understand each other... things start to come together and you and the horse are much happier. Take your time... slow curves ..... build speed slowly... make sure it has a steering dampener... Practice with weight in the sidecar... they handle better.... 😎
Haven’t laughed so much in ages.
Would i want one ?
Would i F***😂😂
Mr Toad himself could not have done a better job of wrestling that beast through traffic.
What a challenge!! Sidecar, gears and brakes swapped, brakes the other way round, kick start. Looks like a whole lot of fun! I have never seen a sidecar with 2 seats! Thanks for sharing the adventure!
I often fancy a sidecar, but I think I would pair it with a modern bike! Alas, I have nowhere to park it.
I bought a Steib copy attached to a Xj600s diversion, always been curious to try three wheels, ride all year round and fancied the stability in ice and snow. Loved it and then swapped the sidecar onto my 2009 650 Bandit. Great fun and very popular riding out with others as I can carry a lot of gear! Got pulled over by a police officer, I thought it was due to the way I’d drifted round the roundabout, strangely no turns out he had a sidecar that didn’t handle well and I was the only other sidecar he’d seen. Fixed his and last time it snowed we were finding out how sideways you can get, took two patrol car officers out and ended up helpless with laughter four up hill climbing in snow.
I Love it. Hope to ride a sidecar again someday. Greetings from Ulm, Germany
When I was small, my Dad had a combination - I would have been about 4 or 5, so about 1956 - My Mum and my sister would travel in the sidecar, and I would ride as pillion ( can't remember if my feet reached the footpegs. I'd just be hanging on to my Dad ) Nobody wore crash helmets in those days either. Ahh, those were the days."NOT"
Look on the bright side. if you managed to stall it regularly enough, you'd have clocked up your 10,000 steps on your fitbit by the time you got to work.
Brilliant. The longer you rode it the older the bike got. Frigging hilarious 🤣🤣🤣and think, this is how our parents/grandparents got around. My missus as a new born baby was brought home from hospital in a Vincent combination. Quintessential britishness. Tally Ho!
I have a 1969 750cc Dnepr with sidecar on the right. Military job with big knobbly tyres, 2wd and reverse, done in desert colours.
Takes some getting used too, but in the snow, unbeatable. Great fun.
Gets more looks than my old Harley Heritage Softtail ever did. 🤣
It certainly makes the Ural outfit look good.
That was mental and absolutely great at the same time. You’re a brave sod with four up 👍😂
The relief when that started!
Ah the good old days
That was awesome. I really want a go. Just the once though.
proper old school biking :)
Fair play riding it.👍 Hard enough remembering controls the other way around when not used to it. Let alone riding that beast.
I had a Jawa 350 with a sidecar . Maybe not the fastest bike i ever had , but the most fun,the most relibial and highest mileage ive ever done on a single bike .it did smoke a bit tho being a 2 stroke ... For some foolish reason i sold it. Wish i still had it today . I would buy another but they are stupid prices now .
I my god I remember when I had a side car on my Kawasaki Z250 because I couldn’t afford a side winder and a friend had a Spare sidecar as I was a learner rider
they are fun to ride i used to have a k4 350 combo .have you looked at the newer ural combos with powered sidecar and all three wheels are braked too
Brilliant, I rode in my Uncles sidecar when I was a kid during the war in the 1940's and in 1955 as a Despatch Rider in the Royal signals I remember the gears being on the right on my BSA, I loved that video but seeing your son where he was in the sidecar was a bit claustrophobic for me.
all very well taking the piss but having been in production for over 70 years the bullet is the most popular traditional big single ever made so can’t be that bad
Usually you carry a bag of cement in the sidecar ,I had a gold wing with a sidecar attached , bought it to carry a dog around , can’t say it’s the best motorcycling ever
Aligning [adjusting] any side car important and usually difficulty. Without proper alignment; toe-in and lean out, it's like driving a truck without power steering. Constant pressure to compensate for drift is requires and tiring! Even the dealer [in Thailand} that makes and installs a sidecar for the Classic 500 hasn't a clue about proper alignment. The result is a difficult and tiring ride; even at short distances.
My first and last ride on a side car was 50 feet straight into a stationary car 🤕👍
Where was Gromit ?? 😁😁😁😁😁
If I ever needed anything to persuade me Not to try a combination. That was it.
Great video even by your high standards.
That was entertaining. You're a brave man attempting a sidecar AND reversed controls at the same time. Would you do it again on a more modern combination though?
Yes
There are some very bizarre camera angles in the video. But you obviously enjoyed yourself immensely making it
HEY LOOK !!! Its the family bus ...
Now seriously, 4 up and the bike is still spritely...
Love royal Enfield from india but they are little bit expensive in india especially modern RE BIKES are way too expensive for common middle Indian households 😭😭😭😭
when do you test the bobber "jawa perak"?
I doubt we will
must be fun to try a WW1 aeroplane hehehe no i like the old bike. but without the side car :_:
Isn't it one up, three down? Or did they fit a five speed box?
You know, I even tried counting and could not decide in the end lol. I thought they had 4 gears total...owner said 5....when riding it's hard to tell lol as you never go fast enough.
@@motorsforthemasses true. I used to have the 350. It'd do 65mph tops if you didn't mind shaking loose a couple of fillings.
a harry potter tour...cool camera angel
Shop manager trys out sidecar when staff have just left for summer close down holidays .....staff return to find skeletonised manager in sidecar😉😉😉
Totally brilliant, yet again, thank you! Cannot decide who out of the 4 'on board' had the biggest testicles but somebody had to pilot 'the thing', so you win, only just tho! Hard to believe what a pussy I am what with only 33.8 nm and twist-and-go to bother with!!!
Stall at the lights and just to draw even more attention to yourself, accidentally hit the horn instead of the decompressor lever .
Every bloody time ...
Watch THE DOG HOUSE to find out what to do with a Old Enfield !!
Music is hard to take
🤣😂 oh hek Charlie Brown 🤪 your not the first and you certainly won’t be the last to make a “twonk” of yourself at the lights. You know they come with electric start these days 🤣😂🤣
Those magic beans, not that magic really are they? You can get the conversion kits to reverse the rear brake/ gear lever operation so it rides like motorcycle without the use of those magic beans.
100% Indian
:)
Fun to ride, eh?
Sex is fun. Ice cream is fun. Puppies, oh well, y'know.
Driving that hack doesn't look fun. Wow.
Why the upper class accent on what used to be a working class means of transport?
Do you mean...my actual accent? That is just how I speak.
Who is buying this ? 22 hp will the thing get to 50mph ? With that weight. Speed is certainly not everything for me but I dont want it to be so slow it feels dangerous, combined with the different controls... just nick name this thing the widow maker znd have done with it. Bloody hell the child in the side car with no helmet is terrifying.
