Well done folks, The old man will be sat on it every day untill he gets the legs forced back in shape, there are plenty of contacts on here if you need owt and i,m sure plenty of offers to drive/passenger it. If you fancy a go, start with a parade, something low key. I'm sure RP can give you plenty of advice of any events, give him a PM.

well ,he is holding it for us and i think dad is arranging to send a deposit up to him so it look like we are buying it , it has caused a lot of problems and tears ,i hope we are doing the right thing as it is a lot of money, plus dad cant even get on it as he has broken his legs so many times so look like we will restore it back to exactly how he had it even down to the champion stickers on the fairing, and then i suppose i had better learn and try and ride it, i was a motocross rider and kneeling on this sidecar seem very strange, how hard can it be ??????? i will post on here when we get it, thanks for all your comments some of them are what made us buy it.
ps he still has the original helmets googles and leather that he rode the bike with ,and trophys , so if i rode it we could look very authentique

Good on you for doing this. i think you'll have regretted it for life if you didn't. I expect there were a few other people who, having read your story, would have been tempted to buy it!

Keep us posted on your progress

Regarding your question......how hard can it be....???

It's easier being a driver

Will Rob feel safe cracking the throttle to above 5 mph and I don't want to get to the bottom of the mountain at Cadwell to discover Rob and Andy walking up the hill deciding which line would be best!!
