    Question Sidecar?

    Hi,

    I know this might sound stupid but please refrain yourself from ROTFLMAOing.

    I was wondering if it were possible to install a sidecar onto the GN250. I have a friend of mine who is physically disabled, whom I have known for many years, and he wants to come and study with me at university, the only problem is that he is too small to hop onto the back of my bike (dwarfism and scoliosis) I was thinking that adding sidecar could be the solution for this.

    Any thoughts?

    I couldn't figure out if that was a sidecar or part of a box or what strapped onto the side?

    Would a large backpack work instead?

    Taking the piss out of people with disabilities isn't clever or funny.

    That being said I did have a little inward chcukle so I'm as much of a cunt as you.

    That was the same one in the fishing pic. He said he had done 5 trips to the monkey on it. So I reckon the bike is strong enough.
    Pretty impressive when you see the load he carries on it, they weren't small people either.

    In china many 125 runs sidecars and those tricycle thigns you see in that peirce brosnan VISA ads.

    So id assume 250 would easily do the job, if u dont travel on the motorway much.
