Popular Post guzzi850m2 Posted January 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2017 Found this in a Triumph forum but thought I will share it as it's very impressive and any serious off-road biker should see. PS; I am not an off-dude myself, did some on Fraser Island (Aus) in 1998 on a KLR650 but never since. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 How did they get air into the engine when submerged in that river? Holy crap... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Only other bike to navigate the wet rock portion would be a trials bike with the world champ riding it. And still doubtful. Long Way round would have had much more success in portions of their trip if equipped with these. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The side car wheel is driven, acting as a propeller too! So cool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) The driven sidecar wheel is a real bonus. I'd rather have one of those for my wife than the Wave and little blue trailer she currently uses around the farm and orchard. If the chair was removable I could make a carrier for the water pumps. Ps: Holly sh.te, I just looked up the price in Oz........Au$21k and up! Edited January 20, 2017 by BSJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I really could use one of those, surely they can't be 21k Au though, that must be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I wonder what the quality is now / Back in the 90s after the wall came down the quality was very bad . and anyone that really wanted one hunted out a 1960s-70s built one , China built one too (BMW copy) but I do not know if it had a driven sidecar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Wonder about that rear axel. Just a straight axel, no differential ? Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
