Best sidecar bike in OZ ? - Page 4

Geez I,m really hoping that my Triumph Tiger 900 Trek sidecar has the goods for our Australian outback etc. I like it for a couple reasons, triple engine, steel frame, double sided rear swingarms, etc. Oh and I had all the bits and pieces from when tridodtiger's build.

I certainly agree with the view that full steel frames and twin sided swingarms are favourable.
Old school rules ?

Haven't you colonial boys heard of tarmac, or are you still working up to road licences ?
Any excuse to play !

If that was pink, you'd be banned by now.

And it reminds me, must get a new front tyre for mine. And some rego, I s'pose.

And a new fuel tap.

And a new fuel pump.

And do some repairs/alterations to some wiring.

Modern version of 'The Never Ending Story' where we ride bloody sidecars instead of big white dogs.

Any chance of some more info on this feature, advantages, ease of use?
Thanks,
Eric
