Lots of bits on the side!

Post number 3 on sidecars!

“The public gets what the public wants…”

As Paul Weller sang…

I must admit,

Im not well up on the different types

of sidecar outfit,

but you, it seems ,

cant get enough of them!

SO

Heres some photos of a sidecar outing

to my local town,Rochechouart.

I just chanced upon them ,

so dashed home to get my camera.

Most impressive,

to an amateur like me,

were the 2 ZEUS SIDEBIKES.

Both finished in Bright yellow.

Apparantly purpose built

from new

as an outfit

the ZEUS uses the Peugeot 206 engine/box

as the power unit

(before that the 1.9 GTI motor)

steering is hub centre.

Controls are car style

(reverse gear perhaps?)

Claimed power is 160HP

If this is the case

are outfits like these

(the ZEUS and this Hayabusa)

not subject  to  the 100hp limit

rule in France

the same as solos?

ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOW THE ANSWER?

Some very varied powerr sources here…

Harley Davidson,(with a tradional Watsonian chair)

BMW

Yamaha

Honda,

Suzuki(a bit underpowered,the 800 VX ?)

Guzzi

And of course all sorts of chairs.

Some Euros worth here,eh?

Have a look at

www.pashnit.com

-some nice pics of outfits,

on this site

More bits on the side!

There seems to be a lot of sidecar fans out there,

judging by the number of views

of my post on French sidecars.

(or perhaps you think

the “bit on the side” title

refers to some juicy infidelities on my part!)

SO……

How about some tasty Guzzi sidebikes ?

Or one for the kids?

heres a nice ZZR Kawasaki outfit for you
