Sidecar Trials

Been meaning to add this for ages. Would still love to get along to a sidecar Trial one day, but for now you have your own place to talk

Hi Guys , We would like a few, if possible, Trials outfit's used in the sixties, to come along to the Classic Trials Show, to go on show, or the owner could even ride it in the Sidecar class if they wish, there would be a prize for a bike that was built and used in the Sixties. One with a Kendall chair would be good , or a BKS. If you have a mate who owns one let me know. Thank's Regards Charlie.

Hi Guy's Any of you boys with Pre 65 Outfits, have just one week to get your entries in for a pop at the

I've just been asked by the beta importer over here to ask where to get a shock that will cope with being used on the chair, length needs to be 300mm between centres Any help would be much appreciated as he needs it urgently

I had a go in the chair of a friend's outfit when I was at Robregordo 2009 - great fun! I have just acquired my own outfit and am looking for events to ride in the SE of England. I could direct you o a solo trial in my ares every weekend but I have no idea where to find a sidecar trial, I guess it's 'being in the know' isn't it? Can anyone point me in the righty direction?

First and second round of the Eurocup 2010 Gressenich-Kalvarienberg (Germany) and 3rd round in Larchant (France)

Hope you find these fun. If you look close you can find Mike Rapley! Mike's in the next post.

Is this new style of helmet that I saw two drivers wearing at "the Peak" last year legal. I don't think it would matter to either of them. Is there a matching "Orange one Piece on the Market" Happy New Year to all of the sidecar crews. The Wobbler

HI Guys, Is the sidecar only Trial still being held at Canada Heights run by Sidcup MCC? I went to spectate a few years ago Had a really good day out.

Hi Guy's Well My brother has decided to fit a trials sidecar to the Ariel HS frame we have. To replicate the outfit that I used to passenger. My task in the operation is to build the chair. Have looked up all the sidecar dimensions In the ACU hand book and have used them as a guide to the build using the minimum measurements ,But trying to keep it looking like a Kendall as much as possible. Well it is to be named "Spirit Of 65". Well to stop rambling, What I need to know is the amount of sidecar wheel lead from the bikes rear spindle, that you boy's are using now- a- days , as it is a long time since I last built a chair, and my memory does not go back that far. Hope…

Any of you sidecar guys and gals riding this year? Are you still wondering whether to or not or just waiting so you get a good number? Entries close Friday 17th April so make sure you get your entry in!!! 9 days and counting! We've got some newcomers this year but we still like to see familiar faces over the weekend. Great social event and a brilliant trial to boot. The beer is good and so you are guarenteed a fantastic weekend!

check these out..! I cant believe how they hopped the front of that sherco accross!!!!

Have seen a few outfits around using 09 gas gas. How easy is it to fit the chair to the new small diameter frame of the bike, and is the frame up to the job. the bikes seem excellent but do feel a bit dubious of the bike frame for a sidecar.

On 28th June we held the annual Peter Sparkes Sidecar Trophy Day. We had 11 Sidecars which would have been the largest gathering of sidecars in 20 years in Australia. There a number of Video's uploaded on You Tube.

O.K., Maybe not absolutely Trials related, but sidecars just the same. Hoping to spark a little interest in posts in this area of the forum from a site I subscribe to..... http://www.oddee.com/item_96715.aspx Jon

Which is the best brand of bike to turn into a sidecar? are there pros and cons of each brand? What changes need to be made to the bike?

Just got back from a very dry DK Mansell. Round 3 of British Sidecar Championship. The event was back in the area it used to be run in over 10 years ago near Church Stretton and I thought it was a good move. Sections were sensible and hard enough to sort out the winners but nothing stupid or dangerous Experts Jon Tuck / Matt Sparkes Beta 15 Robin / Gill Morewood MRS Sherco 16 Robin / Sam Luscombe Montesa 28? Masters Seemond Stephens / ? Gas Gas 46? Kev Morley / Les Ashby Beta 54 Clubmen Phil Sparkes / Roger Tuck Beta 10 David Tuck / ? Montesa ? Chris Dakin / John Stanley Sherco 24?

Does anybody know any news or results from the trial held in Newquay yesterday? Obviously I'm writing this as we didn't go. Now we are just riding for fun we didn't really want to travel 300+ miles each way! I do know that Lee Granby didn't go as he was ill.
