That beats a humiliating beer dispenser.

I love it - you think they'd trade for one of my kids?

Thanks for sharing Ken, my wifey says she'll ride with me in a sidecar! Mmmmm..... I dont think this one would suite though!
Interesting that husband and wife team raced it at the IOM.

Wonder if you can put lights & indicators on it .

comnoz · Jan 18, 2013

I think you should buy it. I will even offer my services as the monkey. Jim

Heck yeah!

What! not again young man when are you ever going to grow up! That is an obscenely mean machine to show us-me. Deer could not knock it over and THE Gravel couldn't trip it down. Lots of cargo space, abundant weapon platforms, a great land speeder shape... SNAG IT Ken and when your tired of racing it I'll take it off your hands. I want what they were on when creating those pipes too.

I love it.

Its a P11 engine - P11/125972 - which would be a late P11A

That means one less P11 running around

A modern interpretation of a Seeley MKII Racing Norton motorcycle with sidecar

What I want to do if I could

c1924 Model 19 Norton and sidecar. From the Motor Cycling Ireland website.

This is my favorite Norton sidecar pic.

Oliver and 'Jenks' on the way the the inaugural World Championship (1949). They'd win again in 1950 before Denis Jenkinson moved on to other things, mainly writing for MotorSport magazine

In my dreams, Jim. I'm trying to sell off race bikes (not the Nortons), not buy more. Besides, I'm pretty sure it will get way out of my price range when the bidding ends. Still, it really is a nice piece of work.

13 bids, 7 days to go > current bid $6200, but whose counting.

Here's what going through my mind with that shape in mind; just like
here its gets twistier closer to the end.

Forget it. I've tried for years. The people on this forum are way to smart. I have gotten good results on the "911 was faked by Bush" forum.
