Sidecar outfits were a popular means of transporting what were relatively heavy machine guns and their ammunition in both world wars. The far 'bike is typical of the WW1 solution for a Vickers or Lewis gun - with their water jacket & ammo - plus the sidecar has some limited protection for the gunner. [note that the headlamp is not blacked out on either 'bike] The nearer bike is a Norton, also with some protection for the gunner [although that looks more like a "bren" to me] {& that's a civilian regno, the army no is on the tank}

Large "flat twin" with the sidecar mounted to the right. I strongly suspect that this is a "Ural" ... some years old, and I like the sidecar panelling / paint job. {ID unconfirmed as not in the rally handbook, I have a strong feeling / idea that I have seen this outfit previously.}

Panther "Sloper" in normal use, as an outfit, with a "double adult" sidecar. regno GBR 539 There'll be plenty of power to bowl along at a decent speed, whether that's the 600 or 650 version, both are very slow-revving engines - there used to be a joke about them firing every third telegraph pole.
