Title: Combination? Post by: kapri on January 26, 2017, 04:17:51 PM Do you have to notify when you add a sidecar or remove one
Title: Re: Combination? Post by: Manky Monkey on January 26, 2017, 06:58:59 PM A very good question Kev. I've never owned a sidecar, but did once own a "SideWinder", (a hinged fibreglass platform on a single wheel designed to get around the learner regs that said you could ride any bike you wanted on L plates if it had a sidecar. I'm guessing that's no longer the case. Never fitted it to anything.
Rode on the back of a bike fitted with a sidecar once -one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Title: Re: Combination?
