Once upon a day, there was a 3CL, purchased in France in April 1976.


The bike was quickly modified in a sharp racing bike: Highly tuned engine, exhausts manufactured by one of the Ligier Formula One Team mechanic, special bodywork including a seat thrown by the mechanics of Kenny Roberts after a crash at the France GP session and a Martin full fairing.

While being an exquisite race bike, it was certainly not enough for the owner. François Knorreck is someone who has truly golden hands, means that he can do anything related to motorcycles: Building and tuning an engine, manufacturing a bodywork from scratch, machining or welding any sort of metals, and even conceiving new mechanical systems if required!
This is then that in 1993, after having heavily used the modified 3CL and keeping in mind that the RHS chain drive of the Laverda allow to use 3 identical wheels, he decided to build one of the most impressive sidecar ever...

Simply amazing, I saw this briefly on BBC's Top Gear program, the other night, but it was just a photo, and fortunately the name of the bike, and I just had to look it up, what a work of art and genius, I'd would have liked more information and photos of the oily bits though, and to see how it was al nailed together.

A credit to it's builder.

How to build in less than 10000 hours an incredible Laverda sidecar! The nickname of this monster is "Snaefell", just like the Icelander volcano... and the highest summit of the Isle of Man!
