I'm just glad I passed when I did or I would have had to stick a Sidewinder on it ... and that definitely wouldn't have been cool

Hey look ... I Googled and found a picture ....


Another Jaymic design and development project was the "Sidewinder"; a leaning motorcycle sidecar that helped learner riders when the laws were changed in the UK to reduce the maximum capacity that a learner could ride to 125cc. This meant that learner riders with 250cc motorcycles would have to sell the 250cc bikes and buy a 125cc instead, unless their motorcycle was fitted with a sidecar. The patented Sidewinder would allow the motorcycle to lean into the corners and provide a normal ride feel.
