Sidecar looses its wheel!!!

On a touring holiday in Scotland and over 500 miles from home one of the sidecars looses a wheel. The solution was to fix a wooden skid to the sidecar and hunt out a welder to weld it back on. We only lost about three hours which included lunch and was probably less time than it would have taken a recovery agent to get a trailer to us.

Good old school thinking.

There really isn't much holding the wheel to start with.

that's actually a very clever solution to get up and going.

It is amaxing how far he went before realizing there was a problem. The fix with the plank was common in the days of the west, with wagons that broke axles or lost wheels. I had to do such with a Model A Ford, once.

Hope the dameage was minimal and repair not all that expensive to have made.
