So all the gory details are on the post I made on the introduction portion of this forum. It was suggested that I detail my rig. I'll leave it up to you if you think it belongs here. Disclaimer 1, I don't consider it a sidecar, it's a purpose built, hopefully temporary, attachment I built so I could work out some adaptive issues. However, the basic construction may be of help to those here looking to build their own rig. I do have to say it has worked well beyond my expectations. Disclaimer 2 If it turns out that I can't ride on two wheels again, since I built the first version this bike 20 years ago, (the 2008 version is my avatar here) and I like it, I will build a wider version of the chassis so I can still enjoy it. So, if you think it's worth staying posted here, cool, I have build pics, and can explain my methods, or if you think it needs deleted from this forum, say so, and I will delete it. Thanks.
DO NOT DELETE or leave this site. Yours is precisely one of the reasons this group exists. Not just the forum but the USCA itself (sponsor of this forum). One of the many things you will hear from members is that they want to continue riding, but one thing and another has gotten in the way of that desire. I, for one, got into sidecars because my wife had a stroke and getting onto a bike or trike had some serious issues for both of us. Sidecar was the solution and here I am, somehow elected president of this wacky consortium! Then, POOF! I had my own stroke and probably can't (wont?) go back to two wheels.
Please go into detail about the handling of your creation. It doesn't follow normal sidecar design "rules" and that is going to intrigue many of our members.
Illegitemi non carborundum est!
