Red1 I'm so glad you asked all the questions about sidecars. I've never driven one either. Tomorrow, I'm going to look at 2 different set ups, bike complete with sidecars. Since I've never driven one, I'm hoping they will take me for a ride, so I can hear, and feel and hope to make a good decision.
MJ, Labelle, Stick, everyone else thanks for answering. Lots of valuable information here. I'm going to check out those other sites you mentioned also.
I'm so glad I joined this site!
