    Ha! I just closed my eyes when I heard you crashing through the bush  :imaposer: You're right in saying that sidecars are a completely different animal Jcee, its no longer a bike when you fit one, its now a rig.

Unfortunately no fittings yet for...

    My dream GS Adventure rig.

    The reason why I began riding and building sidecars... my big beautiful girl Tau was put to sleep peacefully on Friday morning... her body simply couldn't carry her happy adventurous soul any longer... thank you for all your love my lovely, rest in peace until we meet again. xx

    My dream GS Adventure rig.

    A standard 1200 GS would be fine... also the 1150 GS is a good puller for these sidecars. Cheers K

    My top two 1200 GSA accessories I built myself

    I put all my gear in my board bag and leave it with some one on the beach to keep an eye on, the valuables I lock in the top box... these days though I just take my sidecar along for surfing, I have a 240 litre watertight and lockable 'boot'on it. Cheers K
