Has anyone ever ridden with a sidecar? I am curious how they handle – especially on turns and wet roads. I’ve read some online stuff that says to avoid the cheap ones as they pull more and may cause wobble if not adjusted correctly. Being cautious and taking the advise ya’ll hand out – I thought it might add stability. I would only be riding in town and very rarely on the highway. Thanks for any advise or experiences shared! And if I haven’t said it before – I really appreciate this site!

I am sure this happens in real life all the time.

September 29, 2008 at 9:28 pm #12976AmorylParticipantI must dissagree! there can be no such thing as TOO MUCH Wallace and Grommet!

Thanks – I’ll check out the web site at advrider.com.

Great site – thanks for the suggestion, Matt!
