SideCars?
Anyone here ever ran a sidecar on their bike. I was think maybe of gettin one. I wanna take my son ridin but he's too young now (5) , a sidecar would solve this. Any advice or experience would be nice.

As a matter o fact I purchased and Ultra w/C last September for the distinct purpose of using it with my grandkids. One is a little young but one is 5 yo. Riding a SC is a biotch, and totally different from a regular bike. For now and until I am more proficient I stay on the secondary back roads (25-35 MPH) when with grandson and he is sitting on grammys lap. However a side car invokes a whole nother slew of concerns. I been riding for 30+ years and had to throw out the window everything I knew about motorcycles when it came to the SC.

I'll be curious to see the responses to this one. I have been wanting to come off the road and one of my hairbrained ideas is to get a sidehack set up and give tours of the area to all the tourists that come up to where we live in the spring, summer, and fall. You know get one of those big ones that can seat two people, pack em a lunch and ride em around for a couple of hours showing them the local sites. The insurance would probably kill me. But I could maybe make some $$ doing something that I love to do.

Ya. What gave me the Idea was a gal I know took a trip to Sydney Australia with some friends and she said they bought her a tour of the city on the back of a Harley. She said she had never been on a bike before and really got off on it. She also said it was pretty expensive (over $100.00) and the dude said he was busy enough that he had to take reservations. So I'm thinkin what the F...k? Just need to convince the Ole Lady that it could work. I'm startin to think she wants to keep me out here on the road. She's got a pretty good deal going here.
