How often do you see other sidecars?

[llirttoc]

1%er's or maybe 1/2%er's. We need a patch with a sidecar on it that reads "1/2%" I think the 1%er is taken and would not want to use it, that might up set the out law bikers. You know what I'm sayin. It is probably even less than 1/2% of motorcyclist drive sidecar rigs, don't think there is any way to know. My rig is registured as just a motorcycle.

I've never seen a rig on the road here in Fresno, except Homer's at a BMW shop ride. Where you hidin out at?
Did you get it from BMW of Fresno when they were selling them?

I drive my green Patrol daily for my commute to the downtown Federal building. I bought it last January from Ski at TriQuest Cycles in Santa Clara. It has just over 3000 miles on it.

If you visit the original Starbucks near Logans Steakhouse on Friday nights you'll see a red Tourist, Bear from Coarsegold.
I haven't seen any others around except for a small scooter with a sidecar.

I rode BMWs daily for 15 years but have always been intrigued by Hacks and have looked at Urals since 1996. My wife loves riding in the sidecar so when we knew we were moving to Fresno we decided that the new rig would be a Ural.

There'll be a white one on the road in the Fresno/Hanford area around the beginning of the year. Otherwise however, I haven't seen any other three-wheeled bikes down there, just a couple trikes.

We work a little more than a mile from one another, I have seen your rig parked where you work...............yet we haven't met yet, thats just wrong.

Saw another today while passing through Wesley Chapel, FL. It was a cruiser rig, nice white sidecar but I didn't make out the bike. Hah, I've seen more in the past few weeks than I have in the past few years! (I should get out more often lol )

On 10/25 I was riding my GS on the Natchez Trace Parkway and saw a Gear Up heading north in the other lane.

perhaps someone can set up one of those maps where you put in your address in if you want to be a part of it, and then anyone can see where you live. That way, if someone was interested in meeting other sidecar-ists in the area, they would know where to look.
