I tried driving an outfit a few times. They seem profoundly ill conceived when compared to the ability to integrate ones body with the spinning gyros, on a motorcycle.

ZM,
I have owned 4 sidecar rigs. 3 Old school and one new school with Lean adjust, seperate/combo linked brakes and better geometry sytems added on. So how I see it is described below.

Old shcool is just plain fun! Great for the short weekend or daily ride. Cool to look at. Great conversation starters with Blue Hairs!

New School is a whole other world. I have seen guys run chairs that just blow your mind how fast they are on twisty roads.

Two Wheels and Three Wheels are two different animals. No comparison other than they use a motorycle platform to haul A$$ !

That pic proves a dream CAN become a nightmare;
another good excuse to never sleep.

I wonder if he was ingenious enough to have the oil cooler set up to warm the passengers toes through a hole in the body,
and a control flap?

I bet that would work a treat!
