I have to add support to my BMW so I can ride it. Anybody have a side car?

[Vincardog]

An accident last year left my leg an inch shorter and my knee useless.
I just got a real deal on a BMW K1100 LT but I can't hold it up.
Does anyone know where I can get a decent side car?

1. I've been wanting one for a while now.

If you're buying new then the Cozy sidecars are the least expensive. $500 for the universal attachment kit and $3000 for the car plus shipping. You may have to wait a few months for them to deliver since they order them from India.

Here's some youtube vids of one attached to a Triumph: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cozy+sidecar+triumph&aq=f

3. How bad is your leg?

If you add 200 lbs of sidecar to a 600 lb motorcycle (just guessing the weights), is your leg good enough to back that rig out of a parking spot, maybe uphill?

Maybe look for a traditional trike, or a Can-Am-style three-wheeler, something with a reverse gear. That would seem easier.

Who knows, maybe a trike owner is looking for a BMW K1100.

4. I rode the K bike 100 miles to get it home. I only dropped it when I tried to stop it on the grass

at home. I never back my back out. I always drive it out anyway.

5. Have you looked into one of these bolt on trike kits?

6. I really don't have another $10,000 to drop right now

7. This guy's been in business in Fort Worth

for quite some time and has a good reputation in the local riding community. Just wondered if you might be interested.

Personally, I'm a Norton and BSA owner. Perry specialises in BMW and Enfields but can do it all.

Hint: Deal with Perry directly. His wife tends to haggle high on pricing ... LOL
