Both sidecars draw a lot of attention and questions. For some reason my older 1996 FB draws some also. The sidecars give me the chance to explain what brought back interest in them and how they effect my Granddaughters life. Also how that grew in to doing events where both older people and other disabled children can ride.
The Street with sidecar gets the same comments the FB did when it had one. That won't work. but it does. The RGU Draws some comments like that engine won't pull one that big. Yes it does well. It also gets a lot of request for rides witch we honor when ever we can.
We enjoy riding, big part of our family . So if getting others interested with these bikes sparks some to join in I am all for it. Often older people that no longer ride just want to look and remember for a few minutes relive a past life. If I don't have time for that something is wrong with me.
Yesterday a man had a older cafe bike built from a Honda 360, it was well done and looked great you bet I acknowledge his work. Not some BS trash you see so much of.
One thing I've noticed since my Shovel found me....seasoned women are very attracted to her....
I'll engage a youngster who is genuinely curious or another grey beard who knows the life....😎
1979 FLH 120) King of the Highway......ya.... it's a Shovelhead.....lots of fun when younger riders
are at a light in next lane on a "sport" bike and start rappin' the throttle....they always get buried
by a Shovel.
Never get tired of the women....."nice hog".....gotta smile at that one....wanna ride?.....😋
1979 FLH 1200 King of the Highway.....😎 Some S&S, Head Quarters, Jim's......✌
Gotta luv backin' in to a spot and notice all the street glides that look exactly the same....✌
You've got a great looking classic bike. Regarding the bolded part however, were you serious or sarcastic?

That got my attention too. I'd like to know what kind of "Sport" bikes he's burying on a Shovel Head bagger. Maybe he meant the sound of the bikes? Hence the comment about rapping the throttle.

That definitely makes sense. I was thinking perhaps he was talking about something else before you said that.
