It’s like watching the scene with Harry Potter and hagrid lol
My dad who was a panel beater had a BSA Sloper 600
I had an older brother and 2 younger sisters
he just kept making it longer when one of us was born
my mum sat on the back.
can only remember a little bit of it.
There were lots of sidecar outfits around back in the 50s and 60s as cars were still too expensive for a lot of families.
Great fun. As a Ural rider, I can say that they are a blast to ride, but require attention as you said.
Bruce and chops in this outfit, might be a thing. 😂😂
Mate, that looked and sounded like a bloody good laugh… listening to your laughing and ‘oofing’ noises, the look on your face was hilariously infectious… what a great video! Thanks for sharing mate… 🤗🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The laughter that came from you going through that puddle was very funny Bruce, looks like great fun 😂
A great video, it made me chuckle.. Jeez, I can believe they cost 25 grand now. They used to be cheap as chips. I used to deliver to the importer back in the day.
I don’t think I’ve heard you laugh so much in any other episode 😆👍! As I’m coming up on 50 years of riding I’ve owned three sidecar rigs, the last of which was the best, a kit from EML I fitted to an 850 Moto-Guzzi T5. My wife and I toured and camped with it for a number of years. Brilliant fun 🤪! But to hustle one down a twisty road at a good clip takes a lot of upper body strength 😉.
Lovely vid! Always love the vids where you’re giggling yer bum off😂 a while back I found your channel and bought myself 125 to start off with, now I’m rocking a GS aswel. God them are cracking bikes, racked up 5000km in the 3 months I’ve got it😂
As a child in Salford, once a year my dad would get the sidecar out of the coal shed, bolt it to whichever MOD surplus bike he had at the time, stick me and my mum in the sidecar, strap the suitcase in the boot, put my big sister on the pillion seat, set off for 2 weeks in Southport, immediately turn left unnecesarily. He would park it up for the two weeks , come home, put it away and not use it for another year! Who else was scared of going on holiday🏍️💨🙀
£22,000, they're Urals so I'm assuming that's for all 3 of them?
Anyone remember On the buses? 😮
Remember Two Fat Ladies?
What a hoot😂.....am sure I heard the Great escape theme in the back ground ...👏....🥃🏴
22k😂
Great to hear you laughing so much.
How is the 2wd?
I have tried this twice in my life. Those are the only two times in my life that I have nearly sh*t myself.
I bought a Ural in 1972 brand new for £329. It was a pile of junk but it had character and I loved it. Thanks Bruce.
modern Urals are quite different. Back then, almost every part was made there and they just mass produced them without real quality check before release. Today, only the basic bike (engine, frame, tank, sidecar...) are made in the Ural factory (originally in Irbid, now moved to Khazachstan) and the quality has improved greatly. Tyres are german (Heindl), brakes are from Brembo, the electronic is from japan and the shocks are also imported from quality brands (the fork of mine is from Marzocchi for example). Of course, this and the fact that they now only produce a few hundred per year has a significant impact on the price unfortunately...
I used a Goldwing 15, fitted with a Flexit sidecar, a great machine, really miss it
If the new owner is out there give me a shout
That was brilliant. I think you enjoyed that. As a sidecar rider, I can only agree with you that they are fun.
Took the wife who had never been on a bike to spend a day with these guys, what a day, she thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely going back 👍👍👍
Fantastic!
So Bruce, are we going to see you and Mrs Teapot out on a rig lol. You'd better make sure shes got some waterproof undies on 😂
Looks like a laugh....how did it compare with the postie bikes? I did them myself a couple of years ago and we had a proper laugh 😂
'OW MUCH!? 🤨 Greetings from a Yorkshireman
I can't justify the price, but I want one.
lol 😂hagrid comes to mind looked like you had the best time , I got a job as a motorcycle hearse last year omg the training day was a eye opener for sure ☝️🤪😂
Nice vid! Sidecar is on my bucket list!
Great video, Bruce. Back in the days when sidecars were more popular, a solo rider would often stick a couple of bags of sand or cement in the side car to help out a bit with the left turns! Great fun. :)
Now that was something completely different and from your laughter you enjoyed every second of it ;-) good on you bud, great video 👍😂
You still have to point your nose where you're going, and lean in the direction you're turning, like a two wheeler. Lean into cambers, to stay running straight.
Never heard you laugh so much! If that doesn’t sell it…
Can you fit one of these to a BMW GS??
Turn the tractor into a Combine harvester 😂😂
...or the BMW into scrap metal within 2 years... sidecar bikes have some completely different wear&tear aspects than normal bikes. Normal bikes tend to lean into curves for example, so the gravity is always oriented vertically relative to the bike itself. With sidecars, you have a lot of sideways tension acting on the wheels, forks and frame when turning. It's quite easy to have your frontwheel slip when yanking the bar too hard in a turn away from the sidecar's side. When you turn into the sidecar's side, the sidecar lifts very easily (you can do that in 1st gear at low speeds already) and the whole weight of the bike presses on the wheels from a 20 to 45" angle. Not the best treatment for your ball bearings and sealings if your wheels weren't made for this. But I agree in one sense: I always wonder how my Ural would feel if it had a 1 liter BMW boxer engine - and a 5th gear 🤫
Brilliant 😂 I think we need a bigger sidecar for you Bruce 😂
Great fun - but, for £25k I'd want it Beemer built, rather than someone's copy of a museum piece : )
22k and people buy them?
Those thing are tanks. They can go anywhere.
did a ride with them at ABR last year it was great fun!
off roading in a sidecar😂...class
18:08 that evil laughter
That’s brilliant 😆
doesn't seem complete without the MG42, but pleace watch the Fortnine special on the Ural.
That's about the most popular comment I get when people see my Ural Classic Retro: "...nice, but where is the machinegun?"
I enjoyed this one Bruce. Id love a sidecar on my old BSA. The sidecar with the small propeller at the front like Wallace and Grommit🎉🎉😂
Pure comedy
£22,000?
That, was one of the best laugh a minute videos I've seen. You had far too much fun, plus, total respect to the German riders in WW2 as portrayed in Indiana Jones films. ( I know they aren't real, REALLY). Will enter the comp. But, last time I saw a Ural for sale, it was around 25% of that price.
Just saying to the better half, we should have had one each for our trip around the world - but that's been done before... ;-)
How awesome to see you have so much fun and the giggles alone are worth £25k!
I do hope your help for the boys and their crowdfunding pays off - just want to know if the winning ticket includes delivery - worldwide! 🙂
I'm just here for the giggles. 😂
Man, Bruce, that looked like a lot of fun. At least I had when you sat in the sidecar 🤣. I mean gravity helps to get in there but I bet there is no way for a big lad to get out and still keep your dignity. 😁
So I think there is a reason why we don't see you climbing out of it.😄
On the more serious side, how much BMW is still in the Ural? What do you think?
Looks great fun. It should have been Sam Vincent with you laughing that much 😅.
Gareth you are a wonderful man. All the best you can do this. You are loved. ×××××××
Awesome video, Bruce, as per normal ... saw one of these in North Kazakhstan not far from the Russian mountain range and area called the Urals ... No traffic, nothing, for 4 days, then you heard this engine, and then one of these came past us. 6 up must have been a family day out ... Will always remember it, lol
I remember speaking to prince Michael of Kent about his trip through Russia on a Rural sidecar. He really rates them highly .
Sidecarriding is so much fun. I (we) enjoy riding our sidecar every time we go out for a nice tour. And on a Ural you can go on the TET. 😎👍🤣
The next big little you three and one sidecar 😂😂😂
Really enjoyed this video
Brilliant!! Thanks for the video!!! 😀😀
😂😂😂 my first passenger ride in a sidecar was mental, never again 😂😂 top vid as ever. 👍🏻
brilliant, ahve not done that for 30 odd years, must have a go
What a giggle. Thanks for taking us along Bruce.
That was mega! Great video teapot! 👍
If it was just half as fun to ride it as it was to watch it, then you had a total blast!
Grass track side car next time Bruce?
These use to be around 10k or less….22k is ridiculous.
Never seen you have so much fun !
😮🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻 might be better with a jeep 😂
but not half the fun and challenge 😏
I hate the damn things tbh. Probably because I was in one when it left the road, rolled down a bank & I was thrown out, fracturing my back at L1, leaving me partially paralysed from the waist. That was 43 years ago. I still ride a bike, though. Burgman 650. Can't get my leg over a "normal" bike anymore.
sorry to hear this. I agree - they can surprise you with some nasty behaviour if you let yourself get surprised by their various quirks. Especially when braking while going downhills. I had some hairy experiences one some of my first rides. Fortunately, it was a familiarisation ride which I chose to do in evening hours on a road that I knew had very little traffic at that hour so I could concentrate on the bike's behaviour only. Otherwise, that ride would have easily ended with a frontal collision as the bike has a tendency to stear into oncomming traffic if you brake too sudden on a downhill course and the best counter measure to this (easing the brakes) is quite counter intuitive in such a situation.
