I rode in the sidecar...

I went to bike night last night to get my Vstar Classic out of the garage and to relax for a change and my girlfriend was there with her 1948 bike.

This bike is just awesome. Don't know much about it but every time we see each other for the first time in the season, she takes me for a ride.

Here's couple pictures... Driving in that sidecar is just a blast...

Can you imagine taking that thing to the track? It actually looks like it would be fun in the LH corners, but the RH'ers.......

That thing was going pretty fast considerate how old she is (yes, i'm talking about the bike)

I'm not sure she would do good at Grattan but could be fun at Putnam

yep did you get cruiser disease where you think you are invincible?

EDIT: based on your answer I would be VERY unpopular as I will not ride with people that have no helmets. I hesitate at jacket and gloves. I have no desire to see a friend hurt and certainly not by stupidity

Ah, see that now. You were in the sidecar taking a picture of the owner. Sorry to have doubted you!

Their choice, not mine... I do stuff people don't agree and they still stick by me so I do the same for them... Beside, this thread was about showing the bike

for a 1948 i say pretty damn good... turning is way different. That one is well taking care off. good leg room in the sidecar. She has a stick shift on the left to change her gear and a reverse too... pretty cool..
