Hello my new friends.
Post #1 is lay-bare. A 50-year biker, the last 28 on Harleys, currently on a 1990 Low Rider, residing in a southern 'burb (in Kansas) of Kansas City, Mo. Due to a health condition which is far to boring to relate here, left leg weakness has sent me to your door. Trikes are out, training wheel kits are out, hacks are in.
I fully understand that there is a whole new set of skills involved, but what I miss in reading and talking, you guys and gals will help me with I'm sure.
I'm too inexperienced to even know what I don't know, so I'm off to your library, and then I'll lurk allot.
There were just a couple of things to ask:
1. Texas Sidecar Company has a rig that would fit. Thumbs up or down?
2. Motorvation's Spyder model is a rig that would fit. Thumbs up or down?
3. Other companies I should check?
Many thanks,
Rossi
Welcome Rossi,
Both mentioned hacks work well with your Low Rider. Velorex is also popular.
hello Rossi,there are a lot of people here that know sidecars,my advice is to make sure your sidecar is set up right.a sidecar is so different so if possible find a sidecar class and practice driving your sidecar.as far as sidecar brands i am a hd sidecar guy [but thats my choice] so i dont know much about other brands.you will find many here that are in the same boat with problems that without a sidecar we would give up riding[myself included]so hopefully you will find the info you need .
Welcome to the world of sidecaring. It is fun.
Welcome to the wonderful world of sidecars. I'm a newbie at this also - only been riding for 1 1/2 months, so far, and almost 1K miles. I took the STEP (Sidecar/Trike Education Program) class in Lufkin, TX and it was well worth it. Take a class, then practice, practice and more practice. From personal experience the folks at Motorvation will do all they can to help you. Enjoy.
Welcome Rossi, you have just joined the elite of motorcycling!
Hi Rossie
Late last year I installed a Velorex 563 on my 2008 StreetBob.I got a lot of help from the folks here. Learning to ride(drive) one takes a little time but it's a lot of fun. You can learn a lot by reading the posts and asking questions... I just put a picture of by rig in my album .

Do not fly the chair while riding on ice. It is considered bad luck to do so.

its only bad luck in a month with an R in it.
