A few houses ago I built a garage and sealed the new concrete floor with an old tin of polyurethane varnish diluted 50-50 with white spirit. It soaked in & took at least 3 or 4 days to dry properly in summer heat, but was good afterwards - I never got around to doing a coat of garage floor paint before I moved again.

Draganfly are really putting a great deal of effort into supporting and sponsoring the whole weekend.
Phil & Merv & I visited them and were most impressed with the investments and developments Iain has and continues to make, including very impressive increased in-house manufacturing. Draganfly-Craven luggage is ideal for our bikes, too.
Iain hopes to bring a couple of bikes and his Dad to meet those of us who dealt with him for so many years. And he's bringing their big van, stuffed full of goodies.
Advice will be free!
Here's a thought; if you know you want anything soon, why not go to the Draganfly website, look up the part numbers and order for delivery to the Rally & Open Day?

Looking forward to another brilliant weekend - see you there!

That would have been luxury Royc!
When I think of some of the tyres we used to race on...

Any changes made after registration will require notification to your insurer. It is up to the underwriters whether they accept them at the original risk premium. This has nothing to do with DVLA rules. Failure to notify will probably invalidate your insurance.
Sidecars are not an addition in the normal course of life, they are technically treated as a trailer connected on the side. This suits us all, so best not to seek a more precise definition. Sometimes Local Authorities registered a new combo as a motor bicycle and sidecar or as a motorcycle combination, both common terms back in the day. When records were centralised and computerised the youngsters involved didn't know and so didn't create a definition that covers an outfit - it's not a 3 wheeler and its not a trike. So generally, our sort of sidecar is treated as a trailer for DVLA purposes and can be attached and detached at will. If a combo, as recorded on V5C, is split permanently, it's probably best to get DVLA to amend the V5C and notify your insurance.
DVLA are interested in modified vehicles where a sidecar and the bike are enclosed in a common bodywork, as is the case with some modern outfits.
If a sidecar was permanently attached to a bike for normal use, underwriters used to recognise the low accident rate (not everybody went through a hedge backwards) and offered up to 50% discount. They were also sensible and allowed occasional riding with the chair left at home for "road testing" or sidecar maintenance. I insure with Peter James, who understands bikes as well as insurance & his carefully chosen underwriters allow me to use/not use a sidecar, providing nothing happens to compromise the safety & Construction and Use Regs compliance either way. This is because I asked. Trying to game/get one over on an insurer is not worth it.
The last time I got a sidecar discount on a bike premium was in 1973, so don't hold your breath for that one!

I got a Special Delivery letter back via "lost Mail sorting" in Belfast after 4 months. I'd claimed from Royal Mail as it had been a very important work document. I got the fee back and a book of 12 1st class stamps as compo after a few weeks "normal" delay.

Sadly, another place of memories gone.

I'd suggest collecting ebay listings, especially completed, i.e. sold bikes, with dates & condition, then collect adverts from wherever you can. This will help to guide whoever does it for you, a classic aware bike shop is a good idea.
Peter James's insurers accept valuations up to £5k with photos of both sides of the bike.
