Four on a sidecar. This is not good. At least the wheel on the hack didn't come up. Nice!

When my TLE is loaded up with vacationgear/and wife I don't use any extra weight. When I'm alone I have 2 50lb bags of sand. 1 in the trunk area and the other on the floor. I put the bags of sand in black Hefty bags and you can hardly see them...

I think about a half second after the picture was taken there was three on the sidecar 🙂

I see at least 3 cans of beer in the photo. The results are obvious.

I have a Hannigan car on a 1800 Wing as well. Compared to the other rigs I have driven (primarily my V Strom, a Ural, and a Yamaha Royal Star) the Wing is very stable driven solo. I have got it to lift the car, but I had to try. I have never had a passenger pillion, although I do have a spare gas tank on the rear seat, which adds some weight.With my limited experience, the 1800/Hannigan combindation would be pretty stable with a pillion passenger and child in the car. I am NOT arguing at all with any of the comments or the issues invlved, just commenting on the specific rig that was referenced in this thread at the beginning.
