Spotted on Manchester Road, Huddersfield heading between Linthwaite and Slaithwaite - red 3vd with black sidecar attached.

This is the second time I've spotted this TDM along Manchester Road so I am assuming you are local to the Colne Valley.

What's up, can't you balance a two wheeler ? :-)

I've been thinking I'd like to but a sidacar on my TDM so I can take ny daughter out during my 6 week summer holidays, but they are bloody expensive things. Even more so with the TDM as it has no lower frame you have to have a sub frame made for it.

No just blagged them from the interweb the Green one is a Toro leaning side car the gold one I dont know of its origins. but they are both on the right( or should I say wrong side) therefor no use in the UK. The number of UK sidecar manufactures is next to nowt & the seem to only suit gold wings or classic bikes apart from Merlin, which nice as they are they are ££££££££££'s

Hi Lads ,
I remember when i was just a lad, and we could ride a 250 cc without
a full bike ticket you could buy a sidewinder ? sidecar
that looked just like a cross between petrol station plastic sledge and a parcel shelf on wheels,
just to get round the law and ride any cc machine with it attached....

Does anyone remember the episode of CHIPS that featured the Sidewinder based chair?
