Looking good Buckles :D And it sounded great :!: Much more military like with an exhaust note like that don't you think :?: :D
Do try and make the rally this year if possible. Be nice to see everyone and their bike's at least once 8)

Nice machine Buckles, sounds the part too !! Not the kind of conditions for high speed fun, didn't look like much traction which could be cause of a whole lot of low speed sliding :).

Great job !

Tidy job there. Sidecar really seems like the proper job for the snow too!

Thanks chaps, Thanks for the comments. I am dead chuffed so far still loads of fine tuning to do but overall its fantastic, went out on a dual carriageway and got up to about 50 MPH no problems it pulls like a train! the clutch slips but that's cos the plate is knackered so have got one from motor works that I will fit this week, got to sort to out the rear sidecar mount its a bit low cocked up the rear brake mount but that's been put right and I have to sort the linkage for the sidecar brake, so its off into the garage again :D

Hi Stuart, Went to last years rally but on a BMW yes a petrol one, only because I didn't know any better, camped near whiskers and only stayed for the Friday night as I had arranged to go to the perverts in leather rally on the saturday. What a riot that is, if anybody gets the chance go, its fantastic :D. Hopefully this year I'll be at HAMM, cheers, Andy.
