    Well not both together obviously !! :rolleyes:

    I've been thinking about the long term plans for my new long term bike, my Rocket III Roadster. Originally had an idea to turn it into a trike (always loved them) but just today found a Dutch company that make an amazing Sidecar kit for it.

    So lads and ladies, have any of you experience with either and what are the pro's and con's.

    I have no experience of owning either a sidecar or a trike, but I can introduce you to some people next time you're in the Gypsy.

    I've a mate who raced sidecars too, and another who has a GXSR 1100 sidecar (shortly to have NOS installed).

    I can hook you up if you wish, and both drink in the Gypsy too.

    Toured the balkans on a Ural with a sidecar, definately a different riding experience

    A disabled friend of mine has a Boom trike with a hydraulic lift type modification on it for his wheelchair

    There's a company in Wales that make custom trike kits for any bike, my mate swears by them

    My dads owned sidecars for years now. I borrowed one off him last summer. Was good fun. Wouldn't replace my bike with one but would take one as a second vehicle.

    If you're in the north west and want to try one out let me know.

    Never really seen the point of trikes, all the disadvantages of a bike without the advantages. Whereas the sidecar is a different thing altogether.

    The coolest vehicle I've ever seen was a rocket 3 with a chair by the way.

    I think thats the way I'll go, it'd be easier to return to standard in the future
