Hi, Lannis,
Really glad the head guards did their job. Not so glad they had to do
their job.. ;)
I guess I'm just not a sidecarist. I'd take the Morgan, or a Sprite,
Miata, or maybe a *JZR* in the twistys. Rather be on the Centauro,
though..;)
That doesn't mean I won't keep the hack, though. It's a great traveling
machine.
Cheers!
Chuck

That's pretty much the upside. People in cars actually wave at you.
Which means they *see* you. Haven't had anyone pull out in front of me,
yet. Gives you tons of sweetie and camping stuff room for rallying.
Won't fall down on ice.. :).
But.
Mark's right, IMHO.

Chuck -

Well, that's something to consider, when an established sidecar driver
is thinking that maybe the sportscar would be a better alternative than
slowing down the motorcycle.....

By the way, both headguards you made for me a couple years ago have now
sacrificed themselves to save my valve-covers and cylinder heads. The
right one took a big gouge on a hydraulic jack in a shop fall-over a
year or two ago; and the bike slid 50 feet across a bridge last week on
the fairing, left muffler, and your head-guard, which again left the
head and valve-cover untouched. Pretty good investment, I'D say....!
