Ha well spotted Miles
Of course it would be the left hand mirror.........
I am a bit confused. Since when does a 2 wheeled motorcycle, let alone a Honda Goldwing, have a "passenger" side mirror ?
On a motorcycle, which mirror is considered the "passenger" side mirror ?????????????
I thought describing the right hand mirror (while sitting on the bike) would be easiest to describe as the passenger side - guess not...
A couple of jokers. Messin with you. Why did I say left?
I would think it would be the right side being in the USA. Call it whatever you want.
It's like do you drive a motorcycle or ride a motorcycle.
Apparently, removing the bike from the crate a bit of damage to the passenger side mirror of the bike ensued.I am a bit confused. Since when does a 2 wheeled motorcycle, let alone a Honda Goldwing, have a "passenger" side mirror ?

Went out to Google to get the real AI answer on this. While searching on this critically important question, I found something pretty cool.
I'm going to get one, so I can watch the shear panic on my passenger's face while out for a Sunday jaunt. 😎
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃
Looks a great helmet. Wonder if it makes it down under?
This is a takeover, or distraction, from the original subject of this thread, which is Mike Banner building his sidecar rig...HOWEVER...I feel compelled to add one post regarding these so-called "intelligent" helmets.
Years ago I was one of the test riders for new HUD helmets...heads up display....and 8 out of 10 test riders that did a thorough testing, and testing whilst riding a motorcycle, or the new HUD helmets all agreed that they should NOT be put into production. If you do a quick search on the invention of HUD helmets for motorcycle rider use, you will find this is not a new idea, but has never caught on, and sales of those available have been weak.
Here is the answer as to why: Experienced riders will tell you that there is enough going on during a ride that they don't need to be distracted by having images, numbers, pictures, stats posted on the inside of their faceshield. To distract a rider is to make motorcycle riding even more risky. An experienced rider will tell you to LEARN to ride...first....and learn to avoid hazards, learn to be prepared for the idiots on the road, learn to use your TWO mirrors, learn to be aware, learn through experience of what to wear, and what not to wear.
But by putting a digital display up immediately in front of your face, telling you things that are less important than saving your life through practical experience, is asking that the rider be distracted, therefore taking their attention away from life saving practices.
This newest helmet, posted above, gives the rider a rear-view picture of what is going on behind them, and if they have a passenger on the rear seat of the bike, the face of that passenger is foremost in that picture. This is a DISTRACTION, and should not be in the faceshield of the rider.
Use your TWO mirrors to see behind you.
Think of today's current situation where people are walking around with their face planted into the screen of their so-called smart phones, and not paying attention to their immediate surroundings. They are walking into light poles, walking into other people, ignorant of their immediate surroundings, their mind is buried into a 3' x 6' screen, and they have no idea of what is happening around them, outside of that 3' x 6" screen.
I am 100+% against any HUD helmets.
Now, back to the regularly scheduled program of Mike Banner adding a Hannigan Dream sidecar to his Honda Goldwing

PREACH it!
Illegitemi non carborundum est!
So I fly to Kentucky on Thursday and hope to meet my new rig (and the Hannigan folks) by mid-afternoon. It’s been a long time coming and very excited to finally pick-up the rig! The carport has been built and all I’m waiting on for that are the canvas sides that will keep the rig out of the elements when not in use.
I plan on taking my time to ride home - planning a leisurely 850 miles on Friday and Saturday.
Safe travels! Take pics!
Looking forward to read how it all goes.
Side note: Carport looks great! 🤩

Hmmm .. Mike, what are the measurements of the new sidecar port ? Not a carport.... but a sidecar port
Maybe the pictures make it appear long and narrow, but you will need at least 9 feet long by 7 and a half feet wide... just to cover the footprint of your new Sidecar rig.
Oh, we need pictures, and donut holes, and a few chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies.

Haha!! I like “sidecarport” - ‘cause there ain’t no car ever gonna be parked there!
I don’t recall the exact width of the sidecar port - it’s wide enough to get the rig in, and it’s close to 15’ long.
I’m gonna feed a chain through one of the posts that will then be wrapped through the front wheel of the bike to help deter would-be thieves.
Will definitely post some pics.

Now wait just a doggone minute there buckaroo.....you just built that Sidecarportal, and you are telling us that you don't recall the exact width of your newly built...by you...Sidecarportal ?????
I mean....when you emailed me asking for the exact width of my sidecar rig, I didn't hesitate to give you an exact measurement.
Ya bum

I'm not at home now, but I know I have an extra couple of inches from what you told me the width needed to be. I'll measure exactly when I get home and report back.
