Leaving...On A Jet Plane
In 5 days I will be "Leaving, On A Jet Plane"...to fly to lands of heat, and traffic, to pick up another sidecar rig, this one specifically for my wife.
Of course, I need to pilot it home for her, since...doing exactly that is MY Thing.
We have already given this new-to-her sidecar rig a name...Mobius
Anyone care to venture...even a "wag" (wild ass guess) as to what this rig might be ?

My WAG. I'm going with a mobius strip time travel angle here. A BMW R18 Classic ???
I know something but I ain’t telling! You might cast back in time to look for clues…

Chris, that is indeed a WAG, but I must say.....you are looking in the opposite direction.
Hint: It is NOT a Honda, and most certainly not a BMW.

"It's not a Honda"... 😲
Are you feeling okay Miles?
Seems like somewhere a planet just got blasted by a deathstar.
Can't wait to see what the Mr.s will be driving. 😎
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃
With 4 days to go before I am... Leaving, On A Jet Plane
Here is hint # 2: The current owner/seller received this from Hannigan, and did the installation of the sidecar to his bike himself. He has done several sidecars himself, knows what he is doing, and...is still alive to talk about it, so what could go wrong ?

OK, WAG #2. Connect the dots, my first bike at 16 was a quasi flat track 80cc Yamaha that I rode on the streets of a little place called Green Valley Lake. We had a ski slope in town which is the only time I tried snow skis. A mobius is also a snow ski trick. So this time I guess Yamaha. My thought process is odd sometimes...

Chris, I love your thought process...albeit it is wrong, but that can sometimes lead to things that are fun.
Coincidentally, my very first bike was a 1965 Yamaha Riverside Campus 60cc at 16 years old. Went from that, directly to a brand new 1974 Norton 850 Commando.
BTW, the term Mobius can also come from the word "Moby", as in Moby Dick, the great White Whale, but a lesser version of that Great White Whale might be called a "mini-moby", or....a Moby-Us....or a Mobius
See, I too can have a thought process that is odd sometimes.
After receiving the crate pictured in my previous post, he dared to open it, and out popped....

Posted by: @noneI will have a wild guess Suzuki Bergman =)
Steve, close, but in the USA we require correct spelling, not the King's English.

Burgman....bUrgman....not Bergman...for Pete's sake.

Yes, but.....incorrect spelling of the motorcycle model name disqualifies you for that box of Stroopwaffles.
Soooooorrrrrryyyyyyy

Yep a burger with the lot.
