hack'd
I was holding off posting this here until I could get a good photo uploaded.
So...
Got the bike in June, the 'car in November - found a great (and I mean GREAT) deal locally on a USED Hannigan Classic with all the bells & whistles - disc brake, electronic camber control, etc. - and got it up to the crew at C Stanley Motorsports in Middleburg PA. Luckily they had to be in my area over the weekend to pick up another customer's bike, so they graciously brought my rig down to me at the same time.
Yes, I realize the bike is blue & the 'car is black! My plan is to have each one "striped" or "accented" in the other's color so they match a little better. I thought about repainting (entirely) one or the other, but I decided ... why bother? Maybe I'll just head to eBay & get some black body panels for the K.
The *only* downside is that I've never driven a sidecar rig before, so I'm going to have to learn - but I'm committed to learning. My primary monkey will be my almost 9-year old daughter, who is practically beside herself with excitement at "her" new sidecar...
...but she DID ask me the other day "Do I have to ride in it while it's still this cold outside?"
