    I am interested in buying or building a leaner side car for my 80 lb (35 kilo) dog in California. Do you ship to the US? Do you have a cost breakdown of various models and options?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Flexible or leaner
    I am desperately looking for plans to build a flexible or leaner sidecar. I have a collection of vintage motorbikes but cannot ride them without a sidecar after being badly injured in an armed robbery. I live in South Africa and importing one if I could find one is with our exchange rate impossible

    There is a newly published book on Czech sidecars which contains photos and history of approximately 34 different makes.
    The text is in Czechoslovakian language.  The book is available through several English book sellers.

    czech obscure
    Many obscure Czech sidecars are listed with photos on the Motorcycle Club Praha web site.
    Look under "Sidecars made in Bohemia" for the listing with photos.
    They would be good items for your web site.
    Best Regards,   Jonathan Hayt

    The page Jonathan refers to is: sidecar-cz.com

    Many of the marques discussed have been added to the sidecar index, above.

    Australian sidecar
    Hawk or Hawke? 1930's
    Believed to have used some Dusting mounts. Rear has hawk tail shape

    Attached pics of the Hawke sidecar. Only story to come with it was that it was used in 1939 for a honeymoon in South Australia. The felt hub seal outer has GMH stamped into it.
    Cheers

    Nowadays, a motorcycle sidecar might not arouse the same ecstasy as it used to bikes in early days, but the latest vehicle by Francois Knorreck is a sidecar with difference that gives an entirely new definition to the sidecars. Dubbed "Snaefell," the 1000cc Laverda motorcycle has three exhausts, and its sidecar offers a luxury ride in comparison to regular sidecars. The designer has employed different parts of a Kawasaki 1000RX and a number of cars to accomplish the motorcycle sidecar, which took 10 years and nearly 15,000 Euros to combine biking and luxury car ride in a single vehicle.

    Czech sidecars
    CZ et al sidecars
    You may wish to see an obscure Czech sidecar site:
    www.volny.cz/sidecar. Particularly see photos of CZ-Stpye.

    Another web site of which you probably aware is: www.vorkriegs-seitenwagen.de

    In the event that you are not familiar with this site, it lists some 45 plus prewar german and austrian sidecar manufacturers and includes photos and other data relating to some of the various makes.

    Best wishes. Jonathan Hayt

    ...............

    Your excellent web site does not include certain European sidecars that you may wish to add:

    Danish sidecars: Bender, Dania, Star, Sterling, Engstrom, and Nimbus. Your photos of Nimbus combiinations include ACAP and, I believe, a green Nimbus sidecar. Additionally, there are several photos of a red Nimbus motorcycle with a red sidecar that has vertical chrome or alloy trim strips and a blunt nose. That sidecar is not identified in the captions but it is a Dania..

    Under Stoye sidecars, you may wish to add the following Stoye licensed products: CZ-Stoye (Czech), Haller-Stoye (Swiss) and Precision (Belgian And French).

    Under DDR, the following: Falke/Falkensee, Gewo, MAW, HTH and Wunsche. There are others but, I think, for the moment that is enough so I'll stop here.

    Regards, jonathan

    Thanks to Jonathon Hayt
