    This looks like it could be a suitable candidate:

    Interesting chair, reminds me of the motorcycle combination torpedo
    thing used in one of the Bond films

    It's shit. Well, at least the Ural importers say "avoid" the MT11.
    Plus it's in Aberdeen; **** that.

    This is the one people should look at:

    Perfect for the continent, but park it in Calais.

    Any seller that says: "Not currently registered, but I also have a
    chassis plate, logbook and even a current MOT, for a BMW R650, which can
    go with the bike, if the winner wants it." is clearly dodgy... not sure
    I'd trust the bike at all.

    A bad personal experience presumably. I had one in my mate's Ural many
    years ago, even though I knew the rudiments of outfit operation from
    riding the AJS/Watsonian trials rig.

    Didn't put me off riding the Guzzi/Squire in France though which
    effectively is the same experience. That was a far superior device to
    the machine in question though.

    They don't do roundabouts or motorway junctions that well when in the UK
    - certainly that's my experience. Would be OK in foreign.

    Flying chair scenario at every roundabout sounds great.

    That began to pall after a while when riding the Mille/RS3 in France.
    Being able to drift the back wheel on the exits from roundabouts was
    better fun and less likely to promote adverse passenger reaction.

    Sucking his keyboard for inspiration, typed:
    I'd want to know why he keeps dolphins in the sidecar. And why one is
    trying to escape.

    I was watching that. The guys target price of 1200 was good. The R80 would
    have sold on for 800ish. The final price of over 1600 was a tad rich.

    Try this one as an alternative:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=330176309048&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014

    No leading link forks so you could split them and sell the R100RT for
    about a grand afterwards.

    I don't know why you're looking at sidecars because you'll not go to
    the Elephant unless they move it to a summer date and put a hotel on
    the site.
