Just became the owner of a 1995 GPZ110E with Watsonian sidecar attached.

What made us do it, just seemed like a very good idea, something we had been thinking of for rallies, gear, tent and the dog.

First ride 10 minutes around an industrial estate, first adventure, 220 mile ride home.

Got some great answers on here to loads of questions I had.

Cheers
🙂

Hi Hank

I'm sort of over there but over here in the UK 😉

Location - Ards Peninsula NI - not so clear - it's the Newtownards Peninsula - Northern Ireland - County Down.

So all legal on the left hand fitment 🙂

I know "government" are looking, very slowly, at changing the law back regarding right hand fitment in the UK, mainly pushed by the Cossack owners.

Cheers

Welcome on board / Here you are at the right place, even if you own a left hand chair.

Now that's what I call a bus 🙂

As I mentioned I got some great answers on here to loads of questions I had.

The main one steering wobble and steering dampers.

Head race bearings tightened up a bit - walking speed - arms out of shoulder sockets wobble nearly gone.

In conjunction with a new front tyre - needed replaced - without a centre rain groove.

Before I started looking at toe in etc.

Steering damper VW Type nearly ready to put on, will try it but may not need it now.

Cheers
