Going from 2 to 3 wheels

Hey guys...anyone have experience with riding one with a sidecar.
My wife has decided she wants a sidecar now. I have never ridden one so i don't know about handling, stopping or turning....any input would help....

If you want to do it properly you will need to replace the forks with a leading link front end, sidecars can scare the hell out of the uninitiated but with practice they can be a lot of fun.

I rode in one when I was a kid and the thing wanted to pull a bit to the right when accelerating and to the left when braking, other than that. Didn't seem to be any big deal, course I wasn't driving it either. I thought it was and is pretty cool. Saw a couple of guys put there dog in there, with goggles on, looked like the dog was loving it.
