Sidecar Trials

When there is sidecar trials action in prospect there is always a risk of a threat from Manx crews - here is a selection of them, spotted at the recent sidecar championship round at Fellbeck. Photo; Offroad Archive

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.

Does anybody have any experiance of what modern kids bikes are capable of pulling a chair, i've seen a couple of TY80 outfits in the dim and distant past but i've no idea of what a modern bike would be like with a chair attached. Thanks Giles

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?

Super Hero's beware there is a new crew out there It's FATTY & BATTY bringing peace and tranquility to the world of sidecars. Watch out Tucky & Sparkesy

Sad to hear of Donald's passing. He was one of the huge influences in getting me into sidecars many moons ago. A true Yorkshire gentleman! Sid & Dick's sidecars are just a good memory now. I hope you find a good passenger where ever you are now. RIP. Trev.

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.

The Eboracum Motorcycle Club of York is holding a two day charity trial on the 17 and 18 April. For the first time in many years the event will include a sidecar class.
