I'm thinking about getting a sidecar for my 99 S3, to haul the kids around. Let's hear it from the bottomless well of Buellology.

Dunno about on a Buell...but on an FLH they're FUN.

Hard right turns especially : ) The kids'll LOVE those, gets 'em right up in the air, and if you're good you can hold the hack up there, Dukes of Hazzard-style!

Looks like a 'performance' sidecar, not a 'utility' one that looks like a bathtub and usually has attach points that make them easy to mount/dismount.

The 'performance' chairs allow for large side loads while cornering, and of course don't lean. Hence the auto-type wheels, and car tires.

Friend of mine has a similar rig on a shaft-drive IL4 of 12-13k CC range. Really quick in a corner .......

I never understood the whole sidecar thing. Why own a bike you can't lean? Anyway. I have a three year old and she is just fine riding in the Jeep with the top down.
