I like the sporty two wheeler. All the bikes look like WW II BMWs.

The most important question of all.....

With the sidecar attached, do you steer left to turn left or steer
left to turn right? That should be good for about 100 posts. :-)

With the sidecar attached you effectively have a tricycle. You no longer
countersteer.



Just came back from a ride up to Scituate Harbor on the bike (motorcycle).
Now that it's on my mind I paid attention to what methods I use to steer
the bike, as otherwise it's just second nature. Sometimes it's just
leaning. On back roads with winding turns, the turn is often initiated by
light pressure on on of the handlebars. The right one to turn right, the
left one to turn left.

For giggles I rode straight and true and purposely kept my body straight
while gently pushing on either handle bar. Everything you and I were
saying, JohnH, is 100 percent true.

We must have patience, understanding and forgiveness for the
non-believers.

Now do the experiment with a good old fashioned bicycle, the original object
of the discussion. ;-)
