« on: November 01, 2022, 08:54:12 AM »
Joey has become an ardent sidecar fan.   He is the perfect "monkey".

Ural ought to make a sidecar motorcycle for human passengers. Dogs have all the fun.

The rig looks great, Dave. Joey seems to enjoy the ride. Perfect setup for taking in the fall colors! I was wondering if you still had both Ural rigs. I am enjoying my Gear Up as well. Actually it has been totally reliable, and alot of fun. :thumb: :thumb:

The original plan was to sell the 2012 after the 2021 was brought home, but that hasn't happened yet.  I like them both.   :wink:

I’ve always has a lust for one of those newer Ural rigs.  May pull the trigger some day.

Really regretting not getting out yesterday but I had too many chauffeuring duties. Same today and then the temps dropped 30 degrees in 2 hours. Oh well. Last year I got a ride in first week of December. Maybe I'll get lucky this year too.

As if a sidecar rig weren’t enough of a showstopper.  I’ll bet whole families chase you down the street Dave.

It creates quite a stir wherever we go.   :laugh:

I ran into this guy and his daddy a couple of months ago. They were riding a large KTM adventure bike. My pet tank bag arrived last month for my 6 lb Yorkie. Unfortunately it is a bit large for my Triumph let alone my V7. Now that winter is here with more free time I will work on it. He has ridden a little bit in an old modified tank bag but that one is a bit too small and I am not sure I can make it safe for him. I would like for him to he able to go with me as he is sad when I am not around. We used to have a guy here in town with a Goldwing, his small dog rode on the seat right behind him.

Nice pic Dave!

Every time I see a dog in a sidecar I want to get one of each. I suppose I could tether one of my cats in a rig but I kind of doubt a cat would enjoy the ride anywhere near as much as a dog.
