Nice report and similar trip
Nice RR. My wife and I did almost the identical trip a few months ago, also renting from Randall at aucklandmotorbikes. Randall does a great job! Did you see the glow worms?

Another lucky man, me
What can I say? She rides her own Kawa Versys, but on this trip up the California Coast, we took the sidecar rig. She drives but prefers to ride in the car.

Sticky butt nevermore
Ex officio shorts, Gold Bond powder AND A SHEEPSKIN SEAT COVER! The sheepskin allows air to circulate, in hot weather, and insulates, in cold weather. It's the best!:D

dnepr sidecar
Thanks Red for the good reply. It would go on a 1985 BMW K100RT. It won't be ridden TOO hard, but a better wheel sounds like a good mod.

Dnepr sidecar only price?
I'm thinking about bidding on a new Dnepr sidecar (no bike). The minimum bid is $1300. Appreciate comments on the cost. Too much? About right? Good deal if it's under $1500? Etc. Etc.
Thanks.
