This past weekend we trailored south because of snow here in SLC, we rode about 250 mi in two days, for her that was her longest rides to date and she loved every minute of the rides. Her only complaint was the bike was pulling on her. I adjusted the toe in a 1/4 in and all was good, she can't wait for our next ride.

Quote from Hack__n on May 2, 2011, 11:47 pmIf the bike is pulling right, add more leanout not toe-in. Check the sidecar tire after a few miles and see if there is any odd wear indicating scrubbing from too much toe-in. If so, return toe-in to original setting (1/4" to 3/4") and add leanout to compensate for right pull due to road crown or wind resistance.

SLC, eh? I'm just north of you in Nibley (Logan) area, where we're even more tired of snow than the SLC folks. Give a shout if you're out and about, my wife and I are always interested in firing up the rig and going for a ride!
