This morning I finally got it on the road, at least enough to go to a local college and practice without having to worry about running into anything. I also wrote Sidecar Familiarization 101 about my experiences. Here are the highlights:
- A scooter sidecar does not make for relaxed riding.
- Be prepared to move your butt.
- Stopping is better when you use BOTH brakes.
- Even with a sidecar strapped on I can STILL pop a wheelie on a Stella!
- Stella doesn’t like fourth gear when the sidecar is attached.
