I started out looking for just a sidecar and the owner and I were in negotiation about his when in passing he mentioned he also had the bike with matching paint that he'd let me have for $400 more. He was asking $600 for the sidecar. After seeing pics he sent and checking with the "boss" who surprised me when she talked me into getting both :whistling: I drove the 300 miles towing a trailer and after 1 hour this is what it looked like.

Super deal!
For that money, I think I may have over-ridden the "boss's" veto... Nice score!

Not a bad deal at all! :clapping:
Does the bike run, or is it just a parts bike?

I see a lot of :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Even if it never runs again I don't think you could find a better piece of lounge room furniture for $1000 :clapping: :clapping: :wave: :smilie_happy:
I know it is a 1500 but the Rats Nest hadn't run for 13years when Steve got it running again. Everytime I ride her it is at 9/10s every where we go and I couldn't be happier :good: :moped: I am sure with some lovin your new rig will be just as good if not better :yes:

We're all just funnin' around. I know it was a great buy regardless what it takes to get her up and running. Heck the sidecar is in good shape and worth what I paid. 6 months tops and she'll be on the road.

I does look like a real comfortable rig! Throw my little tag a long trailer behind it and you could go anywhere! :yes:
