There was a BMW badge on the side car as well. I thought it was factory.A very well maintained K100RS of the first years of construction.
The sidecar brand I can not think of now, as a German I do not know your sidecar companies.
I drove the flyingbrick models myself for over 23 years, K75-K100LT-K1200RS-K1100LT.

I beg to differ. You cannot filter particularly well, but if you travel the roads less frequented by other traffic, it isn't a problem.I like the idea of a sidecar, but then you ain't no motorcycle no more.
It's an EML from the Netherlands. They still manufacture sidecars. https://emltrike.com/en/sidecars/The sidecar brand I can not think of now, as a German I do not know your sidecar companies.
Nah.Did ya ask around for the owner for more information ?
Exactly my concern, and my thoughts.After the novelty wore off I did not like driving it. It's no longer a bike and it's not a lightweight car-like vehicle.
Aright, now this is twice I've seen this. The first I believe was someone in a we-drive-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-road country (I could be wrong)... I must be all screwed up. Seems to me, you would fly in a turn AWAY from the tug, not toward it. So, with a sidecar mounted on the right, taking a right turn would plant the rig, not lighten it. You're turning INTO the sidecar here. Wouldn't it require a left turn, going AWAY from the side the sidecar is on? (If your sidecar was on the left, I can see flying it in a right hand turn, otherwise... I'm confused.)"Flying the chair" in right-handers is fun to do.
And that's just it. You can't just disconnect a sidecar, as you would a trailer.To be fair the forks on my rig were left stock and with standard "motorcycle" rake & trail the steering effort was very high and probably contributed to the sketchy handling on uneven roads. Dedicated sidecar rigs usually have different forks with additional trail to settle down the steering and reduce handlebar effort in left turns.
Yes, you are confused.So, with a sidecar mounted on the right, taking a right turn would plant the rig, not lighten it. You're turning INTO the sidecar here.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm sure it would be more apparent were I to sit on a seat and try to drive one.Yes, you are confused.
