    Just recently i asked my girlfriend on a roadtrip why anyone would drive something like that? Its acutely an honest question. Why did you buy it, and whats nice about driving it?

      I’ve always been attracted to “third options”. Cars are boring, sidecars are interesting. I prefer to ride my regular motorcycle when it’s just me, but I go with the sidecar when I need to take my dog or carry a bunch of stuff and my regular car when I need A/C or heat.

        Is it an old one or one of the newer? Do they still have power to the side car wheel?

          It’s actually a brand new Kazakhstan-made 2024. Its got the 2WD gear, but you only engage that when off roading because it makes turning even harder than it already is.

            That sounds nice :) I was thinking of one as my first bike, but don’t want to buy anything new made Russian at the moment

            Got a link to an eu reseller or something?
