Completed!...
After 10000 hours of hard work, more than 10 years from time to time in the garage and about 15000 Euros spent, the Snaefell was ready to ride!
As you can see, the result is really impressive for a work done by an amateur...
The vehicle is very neat and the finishing is astounding. The general design is quite beautiful, which is quite rare throughout the sidecar production.
While this is a very special vehicle, the Laverda touch is obvious. This is not only the triple engine which does that but probably a smart and hard work on the global design. The rear part recalls the RGS side panels. The glorious triple 1000cc seems magnified in this red dress...
Attention to details reveals thousands of great mods.
Now this is what we can called a complete dashboard. Note the level of finishing... Note also the 3 exhausts!
This is a sidecar, right? So, have a look at this nice, well finished and comfortable interior. All hand made naturarly!
Headlight comes from a Kawasaki 1000 RX bike, the tail lights from a Citroën Xantia car.
Invitation to a nice road trip....... The work is signed with this special logo, a reversed F in a K, just like François Knorreck.

Wow,
Amazing project!

Wow,
Simply Amazing! The detail work you put into the project is impressive.
How does it ride? Your passengers must love it :-)
Hi, I'm answering on behalf of the owner (François) as he can't write in english. The sidecar goes very well, François is not the kind of man to stop his work since everything is not perfect! :D Of course the passengers have a place of choice and even the suspensio is a pullman thanks to Fournales air shocks...
Thanks for him for the comments! JLO

Amazing! I really like the one legged front-fork of the bike. Great stuff! Please post a picture of the front aswell. I want to enjoy this three-wheeled goodness from all angles.

Very nice and impressive !!
Maybe a cabriolet sidecar like this would also be nice, so you can talk with the passengers :-)

A verry nice bike!!!!
My compliments for the design, but also for the technical
solutions off all problems, simply because you have no doubt
much work to solve all technical problems during the build off
this beautiful bike.
Once again my compliments
Kind regards

# Matt Trakker on 06/30/09 at 00:52
I think the most important question is: Does the sidecar separate and become a submarine with machine guns? Also, is there possibly a matching helmet with super powers? Please contact me about this ASAP!
# Russ on 06/30/09 at 01:57
The craftmenship looks awesome but that is the worst hack of a bike I have ever seen. Whats the point? If you want the open air...just roll down the window...I applaud the effort but that 10000 hours and all that money could have been better spent on a real bike and a real car, not half of each.
# Phil Primmer on 07/01/09 at 07:55
I've enjoyed riding sidecars for 46 years and in 2007 closed my sidecar business where I was able to design build and supply the suspension mouldings for Tornado sidecars in Germany, but your work is outstanding, making my own production sidecar look pathetic. Well Done Sir, a tremendous effort.

This is just amazing.I have a suggestion though,make it a dual sidecar-sidebike ,adding the controls on the sidecar to make one able to drive it by either the motorcycle or the sidecar.

that's really ugly

What an effort. And how hideous a result...
Sorry, but that was just about the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Apart from the first generation of Fiat Multipla, that is.

Hi,
Awesome work!
You should be very proud you have really made something special there - it should be in a museum of design one day!
:)
And driven very occasionally too of course!

Impressive. You are an artist before you are an engineer, and this bike is the proof.
I have to say that is a bada$$ sidecar , but it needs a Harley attached to it !!!!
I would try to buy one with a Harley and it would have to be painted black !!!!!
THANK YOU for your hard work.........
