motor cycle, motor cycle combination or sidecar which may have proved defective.

new part in the mot or cycle, mo tor cycle combination, or sidecar.

damage or calculated to render the latter unsafe when ridden.

more persons or a greater weight than that for which the machine was designed
by the manufacturers,
3.—The attaching of a sidecar to a mo tor cycle by any form of attachment n o t
provided, supplied, or approved by the manufacturers, or to a mot or cycle
which is not designed for such use.
Any m o t o r cycle or mot or cycle combination or sidecar sent to us to be plated,
enamelled, or repaired, will be repaired upon the following condi tions, i.e., we guarantee
that all precautions which are usual and reasonable have been taken by us to secure
excellence of materials and workmanship, such guarantee to extend and be in force
