Default Sidecar?
Has anyone in this forum had a bike with a side car. I think it would really be a blast to ride around with. I'd like to pick someones brain about them if possible. I'm worried if I don't change the rake ( because I want to be able to take it off and ride) I will have a problem. Does anyone know how bad the handling would be. Would it be bad or really BAD.
I've been looking at the Liberty Sidecar model. http://www.libertysidecars.com/
It's $6,000.00 so I would like to know up front.

If you go ahead and do it, don't forget to post pics! That would be one good looking rig!

Good thing side cars are not allowed in this country our I would be out of some serious cash too!
