Terrifying is: making a right hand turn with one of those.
Terrifying is: finding out it takes MUCH longer to stop it.
Terrifying is: using so much force on the bars just to make it go straight.
No thanks, after everybody offered the whys, I maintain it was invented by
somebody who hated motorcycles. Around here are some trikes that are made by
using the whole front clip from a Nissan (backwards) and flipping the ring and
pinion over. HD front end and a 2 liter motor with automatic trans. Not bad at
all.

TERRRRRRRIFYING!
Imagine being fully exposed, your butt literally inches from the ground,
looking UP at Civics and looking WAY UP at suburbans and looking UNDERNEATH
Hummers. As bad as all that sounds remember you're not in control! That jerk to
your left is still riding like it's a regular single width bike, and putting
your right shoulder practically into the wheels of every car you pass! It's not
any better on city streets at 30mph either, just as bad, especially when the
jerk to your left keeps clipping every curb with the wheel at your right elbow.
Some sidecars are sprung, but for most the "suspension" is the 1/2" of foam
padding in the sidecar seat, or perhaps a spring under the seat. Look, I'm an
adrenaline junky, and when I was a kid the sidecar was a joyride on abandoned
country roads with Grandpop at the controls, now it's just not fun. I'll try
skydiving before I'll try another sidecar on the freeway.

Even though I don't like sidecars, I sometimes wonder what it would be
like to fly down the interstate at 75 mph riding in a sidecar..
