First bike questions

[Dark]

Hi

I would like to get a bike with a side car so i could do the shopping etc...

Was wondering if it was possible to attach a sidecar to a GN250?

Is it a good idea and more importantly where could i get a sidecar from in wellington.

Any ideas welcome

ps most people i asked think i'm crazy because i want a sidecar

but to put one on a GN250 might be pushing it.

I'm not alone *evil laugh*

Any idea what it might be easily attached to?

[bladez]

maybe take gn to shop and when done shopping atach bunge cords to trollie and gn and ride home might be easy or get a packrack atached and put shopping in there

Probably easier to get a top box or pack rack if you want to get a sidecar shopping?

Well its not just for shopping i think i'll feel more comfortable if i had to take someone riding with me.

I just like them i guess

trollie fit shopping and that special somone in aswell
top box is a good idea and gn has 2 seats so carry on back

Generally a larger bike in engine capacity and frame size would be suitable for the extra weight/load length.If it's just luggage or shopping being transported a good set of saddle bags will do the trick mighty fine,used them myself for years.As to what bike would be best for a sidecar! I guess anything with an upright seating posture,good overall length and cc rating to match.

That would only work if the cops aren't around :P

I sense it's the 3rd wheel you would like for stabillity if taking a passenger along......am I right?

Mainly that plus i think i'll feel alot safer then having them behind me.

Well if it were me wanting a sidecar which I had in the past (missus rides herself now and have 7 kids too many) I'd probably be looking for something that was made for the job usually the older classic bikes even though with a bit of hunting you might find a later model bike kitted out already.Would think you'd have much $ left in the wallet after a buy.

There's more variety out there but whether they're for sale or not that's when the hunting comes into it.
