Having traveled across the entire western half of the USA with a sidecar, I find it a very relaxing experience as do my two sons. When the oldest and I are on the rig we flip coins to see who gets to be the monkey. Between all three of us we eventually fall asleep from the comfort and fresh air it is truly an electic experience. It is much akin to an enhanced version of riding solo.
With the sidecar you can carry all the things needed and un-needed for living in comfort while camping on such crosscountry tours making the experience even more of an adventure. Every time I try to cull the packing list down I find that I rationalize keeping the items because I have the room and "I might need it" which I seldom do. But all this is just a lot of fun and only makes me want to do more of it. Want a real thrill, try flying down the Rockies late a night at 75 mph in a sidecar. You'll never go back to a cage. L0L I am looking to sell my Dodge mini van as I have learned it is a useless expensive contraption that just takes up needed garage space, that cost six times more to insure, gets one third the gas milage and requires computized tune ups that cost as much as a full years maintaince for the rig. I also get the enjoyment of doing the maintenance myself. I understand that not everyone can do this or enjoys doing mechanical work, but for me it is relaxing and fulfilling. Driving a rig is much different than riding a 2 wheel solo bike, which we do also and truly enjoy. Me with my 91' 750 Nighthawk, my oldest with his Kawa-Ninga-ZX something or other, and hopefully a 650 NH for my youngest when the time comes. Both methods of motocycle transportation are profound far superior to dull boring cage confinement and something you should try to understand. Now as far as those ridiculous things called Trikes are concerned, they should all be sent to the scrap metal crusher and compacted for the steel mills to render into ingot.
