"Transformers...

Honda Goldwings in Disguise".

This is actually a clever Swedish invention, but I can't find much info on it. BP

Bygone Bodge

Clocked this classic Robin Reliant outside the most pleasant cafe No. 12 Easton, Bristol. Most steel cars of this era have long been sent rusting to the scrapyard, but the 30+ year-old fibreglass on this was no longer sea-worthy either. On closer inspection, what made me smile the most was the coat hanger ariel up-grade. I haven't seen one of those for ages! Do modern cars with digital radio even need an ariel at all? BP

The Hot Stocker

Trikes have a history of being ridiculed by Joe Public. When Sir Clive Sinclair released the C5 in 1985 even trike fans gave it a slating.

But Tri-Sport is my kind of pure funk. Visit an impressive collection of 2, 3, 4 and 5-wheeled oddities at the Sideburn Perverts Pinterest page. BP

Russian Psycho.It's not what you ride, it's how you ride it (no.9)

Ever tried to navigate a shopping trolley with shot wheel bearings, slaloming up an isle they were shelf stacking. Pissed? Trying to manhandle a Cossack sidecar combo comes pretty close. Me and three mates decided it would be a cheap and entertaining way to get from London to Lisbon in Portugal, to visit a Lady friend. We sourced said bike going for a song in the local paper, then went around for a test-ride, each taking a turn at the helm while the owner followed in his car. We each committed minor hit-and-run with parked cars and street furniture; soiling pants in the process - the owner just nodding to carry on regardless.
For the trip we had this mad plan to rotate duties whilst in transit... position 1) riding fresh up-front. 2) smoking in the chair. 3) recuperating as pillion - then swap one place. If we didn't get too whacked it would only take a few days.
Checking that the paper work was kosher - the bike being in amazing condition for a 1940's antique with only 20,000 miles on the clock "Err it's from 1986" came the response. The Russians raided the BMW factory in 1940, nicking the plans for the then advanced R71. Apart from adding Massey Ferguson indicator lights, they hadn't bothered updating it. What the hell, we handed over the dosh. The owner offered to give us some riding lessons if we come back after the rush-hour, which was nice. As we were coming back, I decided to pick up the money back off the table. But we bottled it and never came back.
Chicken Shit BP
Thanks for Mick Jansen of the Dutch Brothers Racing team for sending in the photo.
Err I dont know much about toe-in set-up for sidecars, but I'd say that chair wheel is about to fold in half?

It's not what you ride, but how you ride it (no.8)

From Sam Major, cheers Sam.

"Brudeli Tech proudly presents our new Leanster, the Brudeli 654L, a unique new vehicle providing an extraordinary riding experience. The exclusive production model Brudeli 654L is available in very limited numbers.
“Making 100 metre controlled powerslides at the local dirt track oval (speedway) is a quite unbeatable feeling. Especially when this is a street-legal vehicle that you actually came cruising with to the track.” says Geir Brudeli, the inventor of the Leanster and manager of Brudeli Tech. “Then just a few minutes later you could be at a go-kart track without any change of setup, leaning 45 degrees into corners with a control superior to that of a normal motorcycle. The Leanster suspension is 100% mechanical and leaves the rider in control. It is built with the goal of boosting the motorcycle experience.”
Brudeli 654L is based on a KTM 690 Supermoto. The leanster will be street legal in Europe (TÜV approved).
Price:
The price will be about 21000 Euros (30000 USD) (ex. VAT and ex. Works Hokksund)
