Came across this old soldier on a military Ural a few months ago. With drive to both rear tires I don't know how they're geared, probably too low for the freeway.I'd love an old BMW with a sidecar. I have a special needs adult son, so our "empty nest" is a family of 3. Both my wife and son enjoy riding 2 up.
I've ridden a couple of them over the years. Even did a day trip on one when I lived in Monterey California, back in the 70's. There is nothing in the world that sounds like them. The crank is set at 180 deg. offset. - it makes the most incredible wail when you get on it. It's a little clunky and awkward going slow - but once you're up to speed you are an earth-hugging cruise missal on rails! It wasn't the fastest bike around - but it sure is the sexiest!I've only seen the Laverda Jota 1000 in magazines and books, everything said was positive. Perhaps when I visit the Barber Museum there will be one to see in person.
