Trike versus Sidecar--which is best and why?
« on: December 22, 2005, 11:43:05 PM »
Anyone that's got riding experience on both a Trike and Sidehack wanna give a opinion on which ones the best........easiest to ride, most fun to ride, hardest to park?

This could be real interesting Spyder.  I really don't know if we've got anyone here with much experience with a sidhack or a trike to make the comparisons.  But if we do I'd also be interested in hearing about.

Having no experience one way or the other based solely on what I like the "look and feel" of best I'd choose to ride the bike and sidecar combination.  Just seems like a cooler proposition to me.  Going that way, and with admittedly some effort, the sidecar could be taken by off and it'd be a real motorcycle again if you wanted to go riding.

Great topic Spyder. I have never been on either but the trikes remind me of ice cream carts. I get hungry everytime I see one. ;D

Normal trike converstion on a 06 FLH is $15,000.00 done with paint to match the stock pant [highlight]and of course not the chrome rear end[/highlight].

Well, dang it, you just made that part of the required conversion!  You can't just casually mention a completely chromed out 'hot-rod' rear end and expect this crowd to overlook that.........we'll all suffering OCD Chrome-aholics!  Thanks for all the info in that post, I can't wait to see the completed conversion of the '06 SECU.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  spyder
