Can any of you refer me to a "primer" on selecting a sidecar, learning how to ride with one, and adding farkles to it in order to make it spousal unit friendly?

If you have a sidecar, what do you have, why did you buy it, and how have you customized it?

I read David Hough's excellent book on how to operate a hack. I beleave it is a 'must" read, for any one who wants to drive a rig. That said I choose a Ural rig for its simplicity and ability to operate in the snow w/o worrying about ruining too expensive of a rig. That said it is a crude rig that works well at speeds 55mph and under. YMMV, John
