way more fun than a side car rig.Mark my opinion

Hey, I been that same place and done that same thing. When I was
thinking about getting back into bikes in '98, I bought a '66 Morgan 4/4
roadster, set up for road-racing and autocrossing, weighs 1420 pounds
and goes like a rocket. Drove it for 6 months and bought a bike, then
another and another, and the Morgan hasn't moved for 2 years. It's just
not the same as a bike. Fun, rough-riding, fast, turns quick, simple,
but not a bike.

Maybe a sidecar isn't either, but I'd probably have to try one and see
first. They sure LOOK like they'd be fun!

You SoCal guys, waddaya you know about ice and snow anyhow? If I stay
off the ice, there's 2-1/2 months of my riding season gone, gotta try
something.....you guys never have to stop or fall on your head, you just
keep on riding.....Thanks for the opinion!
