My 2018 Ural cT "Transsib" edition:
We do not do a lot of left side mount sidecars in house, most get shipped to Australia, New Zealand and the UK so when we do one in house we like to take a lot of photo's. The bike is a 2020 BMW R1250GSA with our Expedition sidecar. The reason for the left side mount is the owner is missing a leg and has a hard time getting on from the other side of the bike. We equipped this with a Translogic electric shifter and custom painted and upholstered the bike and sidecar.

My all time favorite rig
My newest rig. We're still getting acquainted
The dirtier side......
Finally received my new to me 1980 Motorvation Coupe Royale parked next to my 1987 GL1200A. I think they look "Right" together. But have to run the roads so it'll be a few months before I can get serious.
Edward, that looks very nice. they look good together. looking forward to more pictures once you have it connected and out on the road
The Coupe Royale is a pretty unique sidehack. I hope you get to try to wear it out. My Motorvation Formula II LTD has about 150,000 miles I put on it, and it had two previous owners so I don't know how many actual miles it has gone. I replaced the torsion bar after bouncing over a tree limb that was across the road while riding home in a thunderstorm. That incident damaged the splines on the torsion bar enough so it wouldn't hold its position. I also replaced the bearings on the sidecar wheel.

150,000 wow, how many tugs did you go through?
BMW K1100 with California and Kawasaki Voyager XII with Daytona 2+2.
Laid the bike to rest . Sidecar was not on it at the time . It will rise again on the new bike. Good by to a great Tug.
Here is one of my sidecars.
Was out riding in Fangorn Forest, IN, when a wandering Ent leapt out in front of my rig. Or maybe I tried taking a decreasing radius 20mph right hander at 40mph. Whatever.
We managed to get the rig back on the road, and with the help of a crow bar and some baling wire to pry the muffler away from the rear tire, I was able to ride to lunch and then back home.
Poor baby is resting in the garage while the insurance company tries to figure out what to do.
Says a lot about the strength of EML frames and connections that the rig is still drivable.
