My new rig
Finally got a rig. Did a lot of reading about sidecars in this forum,took the Evergreen training course and asked a few questions here. Thanks to all for their input.
My new rig, a 1996 Goldwing with Hannigan sidecar. Pic in Albums under HENWAY pics.
Looking forward to gaining experience on the rig. I know, Practice, Practice, Practice.
Very nice rig!! Welcome to the wacky world of sidecars 🙂
Sure is pretty and PURPLE TOO!
Congrats on your new scoot. Once you go hack you'll never go back.
Welcome to sidecaring

Congrats on your new rig. It sure looks comfortable. We had a purple 'wing several years ago and my buddies referred to me as the "Grape Ape"

Thanks.
I'm already referring to the rig as the Purple Turtle. With the roof on the hack kinda looks like a "shell".
And I'll be going kinda slow for a quite a while as I learn to handle it better.
Welcome to the 3 wheel gang. The artwork on the nose of the hannigan car does a nice job of deflecting the light housing. Could you email me a better copy of that so i might see the artwork in more detail..?
That rig of yours, I am sure, will give you a lot of enjoyment. Stay focused when piloting....and let's all get old together. Leo......added.....duh....when i went to album you have sent i see a great quality pic there......so i have copied...Thanks
Any idea who did the artwork on the chair? Looks like it may have been done by Mountain Man. Great looking outfit. Enjoy it and welcome to to the world of sidecars.
Nice looking rig! Enjoy!!!!!
