  • We managed to get hold of an old Watsonian sidecar from Nick Sanders, there's only one thing to do, plan some off-road adventures. But first, we need to attach it to the Royal Enfield Meteor, what could possibly go wrong! Which one's Harry Potter and which one's Hagrid, maybe we should plan a trip to Hogwarts.

    Hahaha. Looks like you guys are having fun. And that's what makes motorcycles great. Have fun with the people you like. I added a sidecar to my Yamaha SCR 950. My dog loves it

      My dog loved mine too. His favourite transportation, rain or shine.

    OMG when the bike fell over I actually yelped out loud and my heart jumped ten beats.

    Such brilliant things, a proper set up outfit.
    You can have hilarious fun on the roads, wet roundabouts, muddy greasy country roads.
    Use the throttle to slide and steer, especially with a rigid rear end and rigid sidecar wheel...oh my....undertaking Porsches on a wet roundabout sliding past on an iron head 40bhp hard tail Triumph.
    Oh the joys laughing out loud.
    Imho, the best bikes for a trad sidecar are airhead Beemers and older Guzzi big twins, both with leading link forks fitted.
    Watsonian - keeping 3 wheelers alive.

      As a sidecar rider of 8 years I’m right with you. Get it set up right and you’re laughing like a maniac. Diesel soaked roundabout and how sideways can we get this. Yes you can’t get through traffic but in a tour your everyone’s best friend and icy or snow game on.

    In 1974 I was 16 and an army apprentice stationed at Harrogate, another lad owned a BSA Gold Star with a sidecar fitted, it was the enclosed type with a little door, we had a great time riding all over Yorkshire and to this day has been an experience I remember.

    Brilliant!! Even got me thinking about a sidecar chariot now, haha. Have grown up with my Mum regailing stories of how my Grandad used to transport the family around in a sidecar, post-war, so there is precedence of this kind of larkery in the family…hmmmm…back soon…..

    With many decades of sidecar experience I am always surprised to see sidecars without a brake on the sidecar wheel 😳. As strict as your vehicle inspections are I’m surprised it not a requirement ! 🤔. Not only does it make stopping the rig in a straight line much easier, but if it’s a “split pedal” that allows you to brake just the sidecar wheel, it makes turns in the direction of the chair much easier 😉👍.

    Based on my experience, you probably need a steering damper and lower gearing on the bike. (I owned a Matchless G3L with a Watsonian Avon sidecar).

    You guys are letting out your inner Harry Potter. A side car would look cool on a flat track bike and with a 19" wheel on a sidecar.

    Proper larrikin behavior. Love it. Any updates on this project?

  • @StrangelyStrangeButOddlyNormal

    Just bought and on restoring an MZ TS 250 with Mitzi/Gem chair. I'm not looking forward to trying it out, to be honest. I thought an outfit would be the same as riding trikes, but I've been told it's nothing like riding a trike.

    I found it funny, the comment that transfering your weight doesn't help turn the sidecar. I've been riding sidecars for 34 years, I move my weight around a lot, most of the time I don't have anything in the sidecar, and when going through the mountains, I have to move to keep the sidecar wheel from not going too high.
