Sunshine I am NOT joking, that picture has frightened me so much I have emailed it to Watsonian Squire.
Please do not ride that outfit until is has a lower front mounting fitted and also the width reduced by what looks to be nearly a foot.
You have NO margin for error if the one mounting at the front snaps. (They give no warning.)

I hope you meant "Taking a risk is exciting", whereas 'Taking a risk is exiting' sounds far too dangerous.

Sunshine that video is quite frankly rubbish, as is the kit.

Well, I've learnt how to imbed a video anyway.

Hi, the video opening shows four mounts and a weird steering damper (I hope it's telescopic), flat clamp plates, attachments to mild steel footrest bar. Where shall we sent the flowers to?

Sunshine, my BMW K75S and Squire ST1 sidecar is quite happy up to 100mph. (It would do 112mph but that would require leading link forks and car type wheels.)
It also has a substantial sub frame,(Wasp Engineering, which has four attachment points for the sidecar with 3/4 inch threads.
The outfit pictured early in this thread set up far too wide and with only three mounting points on I would not even sit on let alone ride.

I may be wrong, but isn't the earlier picture a solo bike parked next to a sidecar.......

Perhaps not, but I think the trailer idea looks better/safer to me! Can we have a closer look at the tow bar OP?

Sunshine, take no notice of all the old buggers on this site. In the 40yrs+ most of them have ridden, maybe none of them raced bikes,rebuilt bikes, modified them, never spent a life in engineering and never rode a combination even with (double adult & child) chair. Be a good chap and stop the wind - ups
