I wish you weren't so far away! If you are ever headed to the midwest, and can haul it, I would be interested. Shipping would be more than it's worth, though.

Here's the one that broke 4 (maybe 5) Bonneville speed records in 1987/88. One at over 143 MPH (with a passenger). Some of the others were with 2 women (the monkey was 72 years old).
They don't allow passengers now. They were real sidecars in those days instead of just a third wheel.

One year they drove that outfit to the Griffith Park Rally. And I had an opportunity to drive it. Do you know what happened to Skip and Pam?? I think I recall being told that Skip had passed away. If I remember right, he did have some sort of heart problem.

That sure would look good on my rig. But just to far away.

Hi - I think you might want to add a little weight to the sidecar as this may be a little light for the Guzzi. I think it would be a good match.

thank you.
I know nothing about side cars. I do know that they need to be mounted to the motorcycle correctly, and may need special linkage. I will not be carrying passengers, just stuff. so Adding weight will not get in the way. I have ridden solo bikes for 50 years. Would like to be able to take more things with me. If it sells before I get there I understand.

Where would I look for linkage to put it on my bike?

Thank you for your help.

Lee
