Just finished registering so I'm here to share, question, or meeting new people.
In the past my sidecar rig was a 1973 Moto Guzzi Eldorado with a Watsonian Monza sidecar.
Drove/rode many miles with the wife, both of us enjoyed the memories made over the years.
I found that with the sidecar i was very popular at rallies because I was usually asked to follow someone the the grocery store because I had the space in the sidecar. I have my Bucket list complete for visiting grocery stores, I'm sure I'm not alone in that respect.
I currently am without a sidecar but the Guzzi that I'm riding now is a Convert (automatic transmission)
Below are the bikes I've owned over the years and a picture of my current ride.
So hello to everyone.

My wife's first sidecar bike is and has been now for over 30 years a Moto Guzzi Eldorado police bike. Currently undergoing a frame up restoration by one of our local Guzzi Guru's. Should be done in the next several weeks at which time we will be mounting one of our extra narrow Tomahawk SE sidecars that we developed for the Chinese market where sidecar bikes have to come in at under 175cm total width. Never owned a Convert, had a G-5 for a while and my now retired GM ran a Convert and last I heard had ridden the same bike for over 20 years. I rode his a few times. First time I rode my G5 my first thought was that it needed to have an automatic transmission. We also have a very active Moto Guzzi club here in Washington state so while I now ride a BMW R1250GSA with our Expedition sidecar I am around Guzzi's about once a month for breakfast.
BTW, we have mounts and sidecars for all of your listed bikes except the Honda.
