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..

More visibility in traffic.   :thumb:  I have a Watsonian chair on a '75 Eldo w/huge trumpet horns.  :grin:

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.
