If you turn too sharply to the right, however, the sidecar itself can come up off the ground and the whole thing can roll over. Scares the pants off ya when it lifts up and you straighten out to correct it.... and end up somewhere you didnt want to be as a result. Luckily I only bounced over a curb or two before I go the hang of that...

You learn to corner slowly....lol.

It is for sale by the way....
Interesting reverse acting clutch, and brake levers.

Ever notice that the person
telling you to calm down
is the same one that got you worked up
in the first place.
