Eye of the beholder and all that...but....I can't get over the "Why bother? Just take the cage" thing when I see a sidecar set up.

why drive a car, when i can ride?

that bimmer is cool, and i might go that route, i still has to be rreliable as i still have to drive to/from work, then pick the kids up.

maybe 2 sidecars so Z can ride them too school, lol

Look at Homeslice's contractor thread.

Triumph has some great "retro" bikes with modern reliability.

true, and if a recent day retro bike w/ a sidecar came along i'd consider it.

but adding a sidecar is pretty expensive, easily $2-3k for a nice one.

much easier to buy a 'built' one, let somebody else take the hit.
