short write up in the manchester evening news,,,
from russia with love
FOR many years I thought sidecars were the twisted handiwork
of Satan. Why have three wheels, when four wheels – and
a roof – makes a nice car, or two wheels plus a potent engine makes a damn
fine motorbike? But I have seen the light. Sidecars are
actually sex on wheels and those who can do tricks on them are the Love Gods of
the Queen’s Highway. No, stop laughing there at the back, it’s true I tell
ya. I spent a day learning the art of riding a Ural 750
with Mick Cross, who runs basic beginner courses for £180 at MPC Motorcycles in
Leicestershire. Mick explains the physics of sidecars, the
way two-wheel drive engages, and the importance of not braking whilst on two
wheels with the ‘chair’ in the air. At first you think
he’s joking, but a ride around the car park, where Mick balances the Ural with
ease, and then actually parks the outfit on its side, proves he knows what
he’s talking about. Soon, I was gingerly piloting the
twin cylinder Russian Army style sidecar around myself, gradually lifting the
wheel with a simple twist of the handlebars, and a tiny dab of throttle. It
feels safe too, really controllable and as the outfit was in first gear for most
of the day, speeds were low. Trying to ride a figure of
eight in reverse gear – yes, it goes backwards too – was the hardest part.
You had to re-configure your biking brain completely to accomplish it. In
fact, forget everything you’ve ever learned about motorcycles, because except
for the position of the throttle, brakes and clutch on the handlebars, a sidecar
is utterly unique and behaves nothing like any bike you will ride. The
whole day was totally addictive fun and I’ve never laughed so much at 20mph in
my life. For more visit uralmotorbikes.info
