Wow, now THAT is a 3-wheeler I could dig.
That and the T-Rex, and the VanDenBrink Carver.

I just don't think it looks that attractive to have a motorcycle bolted on to a sidecar, and have it be so asymmetrical.

While I would feel stupid riding on it, I think GoldWing trikes look kind of cool.

I'm sure that particular engine (Moto-Guzzi) is aircooled. However, if you were to use a liquid cooled engine such as the CX 500 or 650, the radiator or radiators could be mounted anywhere, but are usually right behind the engine in the nose of the car.
There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle.

I just checked with my dog and she thought the Carver would be too stuffy and confining, plus she couldn't sit beside me. :D

All kidding aside, my dog, a Weimaraner, knows enough to stay put in her seat, leans to the right in right-hand turns, left in left-hand turns and always braces when we approach an intersection.

But she doesn't like the bicycle dog trailer!!

It is possible to train Fido to ride on a bike, but they scratch the hell outta the tank and are prone to taking the occasional un-authorized dis-mount even after training. Makes Rover a bit cranky and bike-shy.... :laughing:

I really want to scrounge up a sidecar for my 2 mutts.....
Do they have appropriate ride gear? Check this one out...

You go, girl! BTW, you really should consider sending your story in to IMZ-Ural. They have a section on their site, "My Ural And Me", dedicated to owner's stories - I think yours should be on there, too. Hey, they published mine so they'll publish anything. :D
