MOTOR-CYCLE COiMBINATIONS. It is many years Bince the opinion was first expressed'that tho coming of the cheap car would wipe ,the motorcycle, and especially tho sidecar combination, ou't of existence. Tho opinion has been reiterated time and again, but the number of motor-cycles and sidecars go on increasing, and they look like continuing to do so. When it is realised that the motorcycle combination of about 4 h.p. often carries as many as four passengers with u remarkable degree of comfort and speed, this fo:m of vehicle calls for the serious attention of the motorist of moderate means. Given a machine of good grade, a coach-built, two-pas-senger sidecar, and a comfortable pillion seat on the back of tho motorcycle, there is no reason why an outfit of this kind should not prove entirely satisfactory for the family man, whether for long or short journeys. Whatever one may say about the unbalanced appearance of the sidecar combination, or the apparent disadvantages for the riders, this class of vehicle remains' unsurpassed for speedy and economical travel; and though hundreds of attempts have been made to combine the features of the sidecar outfit with those of the small car, the public is unswerving in its affection for the combination in its original form.
