Which ever side your sidecar is mounted, when turning towards the sidecar the bike has to travel further (on a larger turning radius) than the sidecar...So, to avoid the sidecar lifting when entering corners in that direction always leave some power in reserve so you can gently accelerate 'around the outside' of the sidecar....Riding an outfit can be an alarming experience at first but you only have to think about it and persevere...Once the technique is acquired they are great fun...(especially the stocking tops)...
However, forget anything you know about riding solo bikes, they are entirely different....Ian

Nice to see these old posts again!

Sidecarring (is that even a word?) is big fun! but on the road it takes many miles to master it, especially when in an emergency, the proper reaction could mean life over death.

Offroading with an SWD outfit requires some more skills.

I was riding in Worcester and Shropshire with Dave Waters on his Big 4 outfit last weekend. His gammy left leg has been completely pinned solid and straight now. Even with his wife Beryl in the chair, he is fun to keep up with, whether on the open road or city traffic. He has of course altered the gearing from standard. His modified rear brake pedal is something Heath Robinson would be proud of:smiley: Ron
