Not looking to try it in the near future, but anyone got ideas? Seems like the Uly would be a pretty good bike for a hack: good torque, wide bars, etc.

Attaching one would probably be tricky, though. Just wondering...

Fork geometry would be the issue I think. Sidecars bikes need a different setup to handle right. I have a Ural and it uses a leading link suspension - if the hack is off it handles like crap I hear. Get that figured and I think it would be a fun setup.

That being said, Dauntless Motors has some interesting bikes - many with standard forks too

I just don't get the sidecar thing, if you can't lean it into a corner get a convertible and don't put the top up when it rains...

Sidecars do lean - and they are a blast!

I'm pretty sure the Good Doctor, after 40K plus miles on a Uly, has leaned into a corner or two.

Lean, not fly! Great pic!
