It's a Hack for us!
So, late last August, thanks to a deer bolting out at nighttime, Icrashed my '05 Heritage Softail. Luckily, relativley minor injuries to both me and the bike. Over the winter, fixed myself and the bike up to better condition than before the accident. Igot back on it this spring, to see if I would be ready to go again, and decided 2 wheels are not for me. I have only ridden for a few years, and I do not have the intestional fortitude to ride on my own anymore after that crash.
The Hubby took a sidecar class this weekend (Evergreen Saftey Council here in Washington state), to see if he would be interested in getting a hack for his ElectraGlide. He had been on motorcycles for most of his life, and has always liked sidecars, just never driven one. It was a great way to see if investing in a sidecar was the way to go for us.The instructor even tookme for a spin to see if I would like it. Heeven flew the car, with me in it! What a blast!The Hubby had a 16 year old boy paired with him in the class, so he got to be ballastwhen that crazy kid was driving. He was scared sh*%less as a passenger, but he never has liked roller coasters.Since I am the roller coaster freak in the family, Iknew Iwould like it.The class had 12 people in it,with 8 taking the trike portion of the class.Itis a great class to take, we highly recommendit!
First have to sell my bike, and we are going with a Liberty sidecar. We visited the "factory" last fall, and fell in love with 'em. Anyone here have a Liberty? We havedone lots of lookingon the internet at other sidecars, but love the looks and quality of the Liberty.
I'm sure I'll have lots of questions in the future...cannot wait to get on board!

RE: It's a Hack for us!
Welcome to the world of hacks. Hope you enjoy it. Just remind hubby that there is something hanging off the right side of the bike that didn't use to be there. 
That was my biggest fear, that I would forget and cut too close to something. Moma would not have liked that!
