aargghhh. . . . it’s just so WRONG. . .
Quasar: That’l be the Paul Blezzard’s farourite crash machine.

Wish i could remember the name of that , it was really marketed as a way round the old 250cc learner restriction because technically it was a sidecar turning the bike into a 3 wheeler if registered as such and could be ridden on L plates regardless of the capacity .
It looked really useful - you could put suitcases and all kinds of stuff on it - and it still went round corners like a normal bike - plus you could take it off easily when you didn’t need it - i’d seriously consider using it as i don’t have a cage to transport awkard/heavy stuff.

I remember seeing ‘Tomorrows world’ years ago askid- and theyfeatured a motorcycle with a roof - it was a pukka motorcycle with a sharply raked aerodynamic windscreen which wrapped over the bike like the C1 - I seem to remember them saying that we would all be riding motorcycles with rooves in the future (i.e. the 1990’s! )
**Does anyone remember the motocycle luggage carrying system tomorrows world featured as well - it looked really handy - it was like a miniature side car attached to the bike with a piston which allowed you to lean like a normal motorcycle - you could also take it off quite easily so you weren’t lumbered with it when you didn’t need it.

It was a sidewinder, can,t find any pics tho;
Yep that’s it! Thanks Zeph - suprised it never caught on - looked really handy.
they are safe in a crash if you stay inside
other than that there hard to ride, very top heavy…
great rotax motor in them though, if a bit hard to work on…
