Here's a photo of our new sidcar. Somewhat to my surprise, Jena (my wife) has already taken three rides, even stepping up to a challenge today: "I bet you won't ride the sidecar to church." Well, she did.:)

After a couple a runs at parking lot excercies patterned after the instruction book, I driven maybe 50 miles. The rig is set up well and drives very predictably. Steering effort is acceptable, but the first off-camber left hander took some serious concentration.

My complements to J-n-J Sidecars & Trikes of Stonewall, LA and Texas Sidecars of Leonard, TX for a job well done.

Nice looking.... Glad your wife appreciates the rig so much. I found the same with mine once I put a chair on my Road King.

Very Neat Rig!

Now you have a good excuse for getting a few FLAMES painted on, just for contrast you know. 😉

Yep, considered flames but now I'm thinking of some type of checkered flag pattern as there's a similar pattern on the tank decal.

After I'm better skilled at driving the rig, I hope to train my now 10 month old 45 lb chow/lab/border collie/??? rescued dog to ride with me.
