I've driven sidecar rigs. Not a fan of that at all. I'll stick with regular two-wheeled motorcycles, thanks.

Had one on a knucklehead once, it was fun except when it would go into a high speed wobble. Slowing down only made it worse, you had to goose it until it settled out and it seemed to always happen at most in opportune times.

Sounds fun but very scary.

Would love to ride one of those knuckleheads.

It definitely got your attention. You gotta have the car wheel trailing just right. If your off it becomes apparent quickly. I don’t know, I’m thinking the age of the frames and maybe some inner rust in the tubing allowed for some flexing after a while of riding. The lugs for mounting were just brazed on 90° to the bike frame so there’s that possible influence. Or too, there could’ve been something harmonic going on between the the vibration of the knuckle motor, two frames and a particular section of road. I don’t know, I never could get it dialed in. Sold the car, still have the bike, but don’t ride it very often. A buddy had one of the Russian Ural bikes that was fun and smooth. I’d like to have one for off road camping.
