If you have seen a sidecar, and you wonder who it was, post your question here.

Me first:
I saw this picture from Primustreffet in Norway, and I wonder if you know it was?

Why does he need huge side cases AND a side car!!!

Each to their own but to my mind, side cars are the works of the devil. All the disadvantages of a car and all the disadvantages of a bike with some extra bad things thrown along for excitement.

This would at least sort some of the handling "fun" that afflicts most sidecars

So;
in other words:
Only the mad enjoy sidecars?
I believe that is correct!

you can be sure nothing creates more grin factor than a well sorted outfit. Right handes my favourite, always sideways, just like a rally car......
The dark art they are great on 2 wheels too
