Though, there is little interest in long trips. It just wouldn't be very comfortable as a passenger. The sidecar is narrow with relatively low sides. And even with the sidecar windshield, there is a lot of wind maybe from the motorcycle fairing.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-40336430304544451732014-04-30T13:06:21.472-08:002014-04-30T13:06:21.472-08:00Richard:

So mine was set up for about 45# in the side car (automotive battery). By set up, you adjust the toe-in of the sidecar and the lean of the motorcycle to compensate for the weight and additional drag so that steering is roughly neutral. When someone is in the sidecar, you can definitely feel the additional pull to the right especially when accelerating. Even the addition of the windshield on the sidecar can be felt. <br /><br />I don't know what the problem was with the bouncing wildly but it could have been not set up right or the driver had never driven with a sidecar as it is nothing like a two-wheeler.

Does it ever pull so much that you have to struggle at times? Like anything else, I imagine that the more quality the components the better the ride, etc.<br /><br />The only time I have ever seen someone with a sidecar it was empty and bouncing wildly all over the place as he rode down the street.
