Apologise if already posted. Not so sure my Varadero could do this although it has been called a bit of a 'barge' now and again.

That's an example of when 2 wheels are just not enough.

Holy crap, where is the air box in those things? Does it attach to the helmet?
I love the way they don't seem phased by the whole thing, it it was my there would be a tirade of swearing all the way across (especially when my nuts hit the cold water).
Thanks for posting (thumbs)

Yes , it makes me feel a bit of a whimp if I get a sweat on crossing a Ford !!
My Dad had one in the late 70s/ early 80s, it was called a Cossack then, and he taught me how to ride on a car park in Stoke on it. There was never any danger of even a learner like me tipping the sidecar over as it weighed a ton, as did the rest of the bike. So there was no chance of them getting washed downstream.
What I do remember was it was always breaking down and it had a kick back like a mule trying to start it if you got it wrong.
