Title: I've Found My Next Bike... Post by: desmoquattro on April 03, 2009, 05:09:50 PM Zee and I saw this ingenious concoction somewhere in Sonoma County today:

It even includes a tow bar, conveniently welded to the front axle, for when you burn up the rear tire. I'm hazarding a guess that this isn't some early prototype of the Can-Am Spyder.

Post by: johnc on April 05, 2009, 09:12:09 AM was this in england, oz, hong kong, india, japan, etc?
if not, the builder put the sidecar on the wrong side ... unless they want the passenger to take the hit when an oncoming car pulls over the double yellow [roll] Title: Re: I've Found My Next Bike...

And it isn't a sidecar...it's a dune buggy front end welded to a GSXR 750 rear end. The steering wheel was on the left side. Title: Re: I've Found My Next Bike...

The steering wheel was on the left side. man, i gotta get higher quality drugs ... NOW i see wtf that thing is configured to be. not a sidecar ... it's a front of a dune buggy, with a beater gsxr for powertrain. it's gotta be worth $700, just for the "wtf" reactions one would get when driving it [roll] Title: Re: I've Found My Next Bike... Post by: b. on April 05, 2009, 10:52:53 PM Looks like a T-Rex turned train wreck.
Title: Re: I've Found My Next Bike... Post by: sally101 on April 06, 2009, 06:27:47 AM You leave a dune buggy and a bike alone together long enough and eventually...
Title: Re: I've Found My Next Bike... Post by: Michael Moore on April 06, 2009, 07:14:37 AM I still think they ought to rig up a blade underneath that thing and at least make it useful.

Title: Re: I've Found My Next Bike... Post by: Duck-Stew on April 10, 2009, 03:17:11 PM Looks like the result of a Fixed it for ya! Here's how it really came together. Dude buys cool dune buggy project. Gets it running. Blows up motor. Lets it sit for like....ever. Buys GSXR. Realizes he can't f*ckin' ride a little too late and plows into some Dodge. Folds forks up in accident. Doesn't have insurance to get GSXR fixed and not sure he wants too. Gets drunk. Gets high. Starts doing lines off of hookers. 1/2 way gets sober. Finds welder....
