After riding my new rig (1971 Honda CB 750 4 k 1 with cargo box) I feel like I should sell my 250 Rebel as the Hondasauras is simply a lot more fun to ride. Is this a typical response?
Yep..Sounds like you have the typical sidecar syndrome. There is no cure...the addiction will not go away. This is nto a bad thing though 🙂
Yep you are hooked. You took the bate hook line and sinker. WELCOME TO THE FLOCK and the MADNESS
Sunday I put new wheel bearings and repaired the speedometer cable in the front wheel of my Honda GL650/Dneper. I was going to start the barbeque when I saw we had no BBQ sauce. I told the wife I was going to check my repair and pickup some sauce at the store. I drove out a dirt road that is closed during the winter to see how far I could get before the snow turned me back. The snow was gone and so was I. I called my wife from another town 35 miles away to say that I had picked up the sauce and was taking a little longer than I had planned. Like an hour longer. I drove the pavement home wishing I could go a little longer still. The boys are right, there is no cure.
Thanks for the info and suggestions. I find my self dreaming about riding the Hondasauras
(I used to dream about females but the rig is much more forgiving.) To date Hondasauras
has not criticized me if I was a few minutes late, made no remarks if I was a little sweaty
and absolutely made no mention of my TV viewing habits. Is it possible to marry your
sidecar? Jim in Denver
YES --But not required or nessary

Jim,
Beware that a sidecar. similar to a woman, can turn on you if you don't treat em right. Maybe not 'high maintenance' but you do need to give them some attention to keep them happy. Keep it happy and it will keep yuou happy.

keep an eye on your mounts.....

When you said "keep an eye on your mounts" I am assuming you were refering to the mount from the rear fender to the out side of my cargo box. Well, for the past 2 days I have had frightening
experiences trying to make a right turn at any speed above 1 mph. The motorcycle kept wanting to go left and even felt as if it was going to turn over. I even missed a couple of turns. Fortunately today I noticed that my rear top mount was broken. Just another reminder to check my rig before starting out. While it is easily fixed I will a little nervous and it will take a little while to get some of my confidence back that I was learning to do the right things on the Hondasauras. Jim - Denver
