What car do you have on the bike in your profile pic Hack'n?
It's a Liberty Classic, custom built by my friend Pete Larsen of Liberty Motors in Seattle, WA
VERY nice! I'm heading out that way this summer...I like the front but wonder if the fender can be fashioned more like an Aero rear fender....hmmm.....
Sorry,
Liberty sidecars are only made for Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

Hmmm.. looks like the spyder is for me IF I can ever afford one...I like the fact that they will put a same fender on as your bike..why would you want anything else? I might be getting that and ditching the car! Hey you can haul groceries in one..........
Question though... do they modify your bike somehow to make it reverse automatically or do you have to get used to backing it into a space or tolerate backing out alot? I know HD trikes back have a reverse...I had a friend who had a trike..had probs with the reverse......
I may have to look for a used one as I am not rich....notice that I am referring to myself as "I"...solo peeps have less money..HAHA!!
Oh and a shield would be a MUST for the car!

Most of us simply learn to either: Pull-Up or Back-Down to park, generally avoiding having to back up up-hill. It becomes natural to park in proper position with the back tire lower than the front tire, so you can either drive forward or roll-back.
Also, pushing the mid-size rigs, such as you propose, is not difficult at all on level ground. Remember, you do not have to balance the bike. We push our mid-size rigs round the drive-way on a regular basis.

Most all solo bikers already back in or plan an easy forward exit from a parking spot. It's a lot easier to paddle a rig backward than a solo bike since one doesn't have the balance problem to deal with if it's a tall bike or on a loose surface. If neccessary one can just push the rig backward since it is stable (or have the monkey push it).
Two windshields available for the Spyder. The cute but useless Brooklands retro or a wide useful one.
Setback from the doctor's this morning.. have to go for an MRI for my GEAR SHIFTING foot and there IS a possibility for dare I say the S word...surgery...very pouty today..oh well the weekend is coming up....and I get to HEAR bikes riding all around me....
