slogger Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have taken the brave/foolish/mad (delete where applicable)decision to purchase a sidecar off of ebay to pair with a Montesa 348. Having ridden schoolboy twinshocks in the 80's, mono more recently and then moving back to twin shocks I suddenly had the urge to give sidecars a go.... I am wondering if the sidecar enthusiast's can help with the following: 1) What are the common mounting points for the chair to the bike and how should I approach a Montesa 348 2) For a newbie what are the basics and how would you build up the practice ? any help appreciated Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamjayzee Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi Rob, Good luck with this new venture. I really enjoy seeing the chairs at a trial, but certainly have no desire to go anywhere near one! From what I've observed when watching these odd machines tackle sections, you should practice a rolling fall... Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamish owners club Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Rob, you aren't the only Newbie - my mate and I have just bought a Beamish. We did have a Monty 315R outfit for a while but couldn't find any competitions close by. One thing I would defintely advise is a hand guard on the throttle side - you will fit one after your first ride if you don't fit one now! Good luck and see you out there maybe!
