[QUOTE="indianken, post: 9261, member: 648"] Nice of you to ask. I hope Dave responds. That sidecar was completely made by PIP. It was left, along with his Vincent motorcycle to Phillip Tooth, PIPs best mate. If you are not familiar with Phillip, he was the chief editor of both "Classic Bike" and "The Classic Motorcycle" I believe he still has the chair. For more info I would contact him. It has a vary interesting chassis design. By manipulating one lever next to the passenger seat you could change the chairs spring rate, it's ride height, and the side cars wheel toe in and camber. He needed it when he took me out riding as ballast one day! There were blue prints for the chair and chassis, I had a short look at them myself during one of my visits with him but I was too stupid to ask him for copy's. I think they may now be forever lost to us. Ken Smith [/QUOTE]
