Graham Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I do not know the official answer, but I do know you can ride a sidecar outfit on a motorcycle licence. Re three wheeler - the MoT may cause problems with some MoT centres - you need a MoT centre that does outfits/combinations/motorcycle & sidecar, applying for a three wheeler MoT is a whole different matter. Also have you built the outfit - restored one or bought a working example - I would be interested in knowing more about it. Attached is my replica I scratch built.

79x100 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Rob van Meel is the chap to talk with about reprint literature for WD motorcycles. http://www.robvanmeel.nl/?q=catalog/431 The sidecar used by the RAF was the Norton model G which comprised a body thought to be made by Swallow on Norton's own distinctive chassis. If you're serious about the project, I'd suggest posting for the attention of Ron Pier on the WD16H or BSA WM20 forum as he has put one together. I'm pretty sure that you can't drive a combination on a car licence. They used to be popular as a way of avoiding the 250cc restriction when riding on 'L' plates but I believe that concession has now fallen by the wayside with the standardised European rules.
