Default Sidecar

I will have to use my Skirtster on wintertime. To add some stability I was thinking about addind a sidecar. Any ideas, objections, specific models?
In my home country we used to have things like that - all year round:

Thanks!

Winters in Toronto can be pretty bad Elena, but more power to you if ya think you can pull it off. Ride down to Rochester and visit and I'll buy your family a cup of HOT coffee!

Sidecars are neat. Now if you just can get enough clearance between the tire and the fender for chains you'll be all set.

Is that a Ural? That's a sweet looking bike. I had to flip a coin between a Ural and a Harley when it came time to buy a bike. =-)

I don't have any suggestions as to models or that type of thing, but I did see a Sporty with a side car at a Rally back in the summer. A family of four arrived on/in it. Man driving, wife (I presume) on the back, and 2 small children in the sidecar. It actually looked pretty good.

That's one thing about a Ural. People often refer to the Harley as being dinosaurs. Compared to the Ural, Harley is the latest, most improved engineering marvel of the 21st century.
