do you have any idea which brand the rear wheel is? the construction looks simular to the Beringer i've got. But i heard Beringer went bankrupt, or stopped fabrikating sidecar parts.

This wheels Walter is manufacturing himself - and it´s Beringer style. Many years ago, when Beringer was still doing sidecars, Walter bought this wheels for his rigs, but when Beringer stopped production, Walter continued. They can do any kind of wheels for any kind of bikes.

Thanks Martin,

Both the owner of this outfit as well as I were under the impression, that Walter gets these components and parts from a - yet unknown - manufacturer and Walter has the sole selling rights for these wheels. Walter only builts up the wheels, depending on what outfit they should go. A well kept secret revealed by you, if they manufacture them completely in their own shop.

Sorry to go off the point, but when and where does the European Sidecar Meeting happen ? So engrossed in the images recently posted, it looks a good prospect.

The 21^st EGT (Eurogespanntreffen) European Sidecar-meeting 2009 will be held in Weiswampach, Luxemburg from 28 -30 August 2009. The first sidecarists are to be expected days before.

As a regular visitor, I can really recommend this. Over a 1.000 sidecars all the time in a great atmosphere.

This is the link in several languages.

Thanks Richard for the date and location. Unfortunately, 2009 is out as off to the USA at that time. However, good prospect for 2010.

Evening all

Here a few photo's taken by Robyn Doubleday from last year's trip to the OCR at Lorella Springs (NT, Oz)

May I present Robyn and her other half.
BTW the blue oufit is her outfit and she is a bloody good sidecar rider, not to mention fruit cake maker extrodinaire.

No wonder Greg has a smile





It was a touch sandy on the Alice Springs/Finke road






Hang On!

Someone mentioned that Slab's outfit wasn't pretty.
Suggested that a Merlin outfit was far more pleasant to the eye.
I would like to see it out here
How do you think it would go now?





To me this is the stand out photo,


But there is more

Climbing out of Chamber's Pillar



Trust me, its steep,
Even Slab had to stand on the pegs


The 4wd's were gobsmacked. They were told it's a tough track into CP.
And here appears a couple of sidecar's on the way out

But there was a problem.

Doubleday broke his handlebar mounts, but thanks to No6 fencing wire , they were able to continue

It made me think of this pic I shot a while ago:



Sidecar related of course.

Are there taps, a plug hole and a couple of rubber ducks under the cover on the Suzuki's chair?

Only joking. They look fantastic. Like you say, the right outfit for the conditions.
