I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry when I first saw this.

If he had kept the bags on somehow it wouldn't look bad. HaHa

There's no rear wheel. How does it go?

A trike's a bike too! Factory's won't build them so the aftermarket does. There are a lot of folks that want to ride but aren't comfortable on 2-wheels or for whatever reason can't. A couple of weeks ago while up at Oak Glenn I saw a guy riding his bike from the side car. He looked like he was really enjoying the day. That's what is great about this country, beside the freedoms we still have left, it's the ingenuity and drive.

You're right about the missing bags!

That just ain't right... :eek:

However, if you're wanting something that's different from everyone else on the block... :bow1:

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry when I first saw this....or you could applaud! Trikes and sidecars are often piloted by disabled bikers who refuse to give up life on two wheels...er, okay, maybe they have done, but you know what I mean.

That said, "non-traditional" sidecar rigs are very popular among French and German riders (not sure why it's only them!), by that I mean Blackbirds, Hyabusas, even Ducati 999s...

Ciao,

That is the first I have seen with an ST. Trikes are getting more popular so I would expect to see some more. That one doesn't look too good but if there is a demand someone may make a nice looking one for the ST's. They have some very nice looking units for Goldwings,LT's and Harley's.:03biker:

I met a guy at the Patriot Guard Riders event in South Holland, Illinois, where the idiots from Kansas showed up at a funeral.

He was an Air Force vet, 62, and he used to be an ST rider. Now, with arthritis and other issues, he is afraid to ride in case he loses his footing, or that he can't hold the bike up.

I think its WAY cool that someone can do that to an ST. Might give this guy a shot at happy riding days again.

It's still an ST....just got different wheels!

I think there are about 3 companies offering sidecars adaptable to the ST13, but Honda's owner's manual says it's not built to take one.
Having said that, obviously it can be done. It would be nice if there were a reverse and different gear ratios available.
