I prepared this model 100 and fitted a Swallow jet 80 sidecar, to pull a caravan --Lands end-- John o groats Im at the premises of Frank Leach motors to see them off. This was a publicity stunt, and the passenger was from the Y.E.P. Took Peter Marians for a ride in the sidecar, prior to fitting towing bar etc, hed never been in one before ,and thankfully he was rather heavy, as I pushed my luck on left bends !! This was 1953, and the bike performed well- no problems. I had built the engine, and , unlike some of my colleagues,took care to to tighten the U bolts correctly. I had realised some time ago, that overtightening was the cause of main bearing failure.
