I love sidecars, and have wanted one for many years. Ive taken a few quick around the parking lot rides, but that's it.. One day I will get one.

Sidecar people are a little strange, and so are Guzzi riders. Put them together and you have some interesting characters.

I will say this about sidecars. No car ever pulled out in front of me or did the usual stupid stuff cars do when around motorcycles. I *think* it's because a rig is "different," and gets noticed. "What the hell is that, Louise??"
Dunno, but there is something..

If you go to the nat. Sidecar rally  Ask around and ask if they know Rudy on the sidecar forum.  They banded my email address.  And not for 4 letter words or picking on people except maybe Jay may be a Littel with my non conforming ideals on how someone should ride a sidecar going to a ice cream social.  If this problem had come up the the 18 wheeler, I plainer on going to see my daughter in Spokane during the rally and join back up.  I may be though Rudyr

Amen to that. Adding a sidecar to a bike turns it from invisible to the most-noticed thing on the road.

Everybody waves to you when you're driving a hack! Kids especially! I've owned a couple, worked on many. I think they're great fun but I would not want one for my only ride. Gotta have a solo in the garage, too.
