    Hi, thanks for the add. Just brought a Triumph America 2009 and then got a Watsonian GP Sports sidecar at auction. I have spent some time fitting the two together and have just completed my first test run. So far it runs in a straight line so fingers crossed. Bike needs a new chain and Christchurch Triumph very unhelpfully told me they cant fit it because scaffolding at their workshop prevents getting the bike in. Also they don't have facilities to do an MOT on a combo. So much for the experts. I will have to fit chain myself.
    Im retired so will be a fair weather biker. Cheers

    Welcome in, sounds kinda different, how about some pics? Don't think you're being fair to Christchurch Triumph though, it aint their fault your bike is so wide, lol.

    Ok a few images of the outfit. Got the sidecar at auction and fitted to Triumph America. So far so good. Just small trips to work out connections are safe etc.
