    The person to be talking to is Kickaha. He is in the South Island but will be able to point you to the correct people in AKL.

    Maybe send him a PM.

    edit - and Rat also races, and he is based in AKL - good luck

    Welcome to KB mate.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    can't help with the sidecar info but g'day. Saw a Vespa ( or Vespa lookalike ) with a sidecar complete with resident ankle-biter as a passenger at the service station at the weekend. Looked a real professional job

    If it was kind of a pistachio green colour, that was Michael from Retroscooter in Mt Eden. The scoot is an Indian Vespa PX clone, and I think the chair is an Indian made job too, probably a bit too small to go on a big bike though.

    That'd be the one, looked pretty cool, don't suppose the top speed was anything to write home about but I don't suppose that's the point

    welcome
    considering the new thingy inm the latest bronz mag you might wanna hold off buying that sidecar.

    You'll be required to show engineers certs and stuff to get your WOF.

    There will be grandfather clauses I'm sure - I don't think you'd have to front up with engineers reports for your 1952 Steib or Watsonian.
