I appear to have won myself a Sidewinder on Ebay and now I need to decide whether to work out a way to have it easily detachable on the Tenere so I can use it for next years jaunt or go full retro and chuck it on a 2-stroke.
I'm sure there's a Yamaha from that era sitting somewhere in our garage...

A Jawa 350 is the traditional place to hang one of those. YKIMS.

You do realise that the passenger is required to sit in/on the chair (at least most of the time) rather than the pillion seat when hillclimbing?

Not a problem. Are we going to fit it on one of your bikes and ratchet strap your lad onto the chair?

Could be fun on the YZ250, but we'd have to wait a few years. In any case, the safety nazi scrutineers would probably not pass it. Champ's mate Pat's mate Toby built a three-wheeler (Alfa based IIRC) where the passenger (Pat) just sort of clung to the side in true monkey fashion. They would only allow him to do a demo run at Barbon and it never competed properly anywhere AFAIK. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: Pe...@ps-fisher.demon.co.uk | | Voxan Roadster [ SPACE ! ] Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+

Strangely enough, I have a Sidewinder sitting in our lockup. I got it from a guy on Freecycle a couple of years ag

For a brief moment, I thought you were referring to the missile by the same name.

Hmmmm - extra space on the shopping trolley. I wonder if it is possible to attach it to a load of plastic.

I've had my sweaty little fingers on quite a few of those over the years and I'm sure this one will make me laugh a lot more than the others did.

You never got the opportunity to use them, though. I'd pay to mount a couple of those to my bike or car. Never mind the warhead, just the motor hard mounted, although I can think of a few uses for live missiles... -- Darren GSF1200N K3

I'm rather jealous but I realise for proper ice riding a rigid chair is probably better.
