    You will (of course) be bringing this Objet D'art to Brands, won't you?

  3. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "sweller"
    Erm, you do know it's a wrong sided one and that's not just somebody
    reversed the pic?

    Not that you'll be overtaking much on that anyway...

    If I can get my tools and camping stuff in it, and it still moves.

    Oh yes, no problem; especially as it's now insured for the princely sum
    of £20.39 and collection on Saturday.

    Needs a proper tractor type seat though.

    how are you getting to Wales, and more interestingly, what are you
    thinking about doing re: the charging problem to get it home?
    Now, having driven several tractors, I don't quite know what you mean.
    IM(AL)E modern-ish tractors have a sort of small vinyl-clad bucket
    seat, with a back. Old tractors have a completely un-padded back-less
    metal seat. You don't mean either of these, do you?

    <fx: thinks> do you mean the sort of sprung and leather-upholstered
    "large bicycle seat" things? If so, yes, that'd suit the bike very
    well.

    Batteries, lots of batteries, and my beautiful Bristol based assistant.

    That's more or less it, as modelled by Platy's

  15. Are left-hand drive sidecars even allowed on the road in the UK now? I
    think you find they're not... Unless foreign reegistered...
    Not if he can't get it on the road he wont.

  16. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    Istr it was after a certain date. Any registered before that were ok,
    but suicidal anyway, so problem took care of itself.

  17. Ah - yes - http://www.uralmoto.com/profile.php

    The UK prohibition of right-hand sidecars since 1981 leaves doubts as
    to the legality of the powered sidecar (2-wheel drive) on UK roads.

    and: http://www.f2motorcycles.ltd.uk/rhsidecars.html

    Any bike registered before 1981 can have the sidecar on either side and
    be legally classed as a motorcycle and sidecar.
    Any bike registered after 1981 must have the sidecar on the left of the
    bike.

    That's handy then.

    What about bikes registered *in* 1981? Eh? Eh? What about them?

    Having seen the ebay listing, you will naturally be aware that it's a '77.
