Oh yes, let me know how Zoe gets along. She sounds like she is young still so with more life experience from the classes that should help her with the sidecar.

Bruce, I will keep that spare in mind. If no one else speaks up for it by the time I plan my next trip to my NY mail address, I will shoot you a conversation, but of course if someone needs it for a project that would be a priority. Yes, not easy being a passenger for sure once you are a...

Hi Bruce, I continue to develop an appreciation for the design of the Goldwing, and specifically now the low centre of gravity as it applies to its use as a tug. Training wheels - great idea if one my sons ever wants to learn how to drive my rig in the future. Regarding the dog, well like many...

Never thought about the male/female mold aspect, but yes it does work for a number of good reasons. Another aspect I can explain to curious folks at bike shows - thanks! Re: ballast, I have been adding about 70 lbs. of sand ballast and my dog sits on top of it on a blanket - she weighs 50 lbs. I...

Not too tech savy when it comes to sending pics. The pictures I added to the gallery today seem okay, but the text is not so clear. Let me know if there is a better way to send or perhaps attach as pdf so text is clear to read. Interesting that ABS is mentioned in the brochure along with...

Oh - I see you have posted pics on this site in the TP section - great.

Bruce, The XS needs new brakes, tires, and a carb clean all of which I hope to do by October, so I will run the TP with the Gold Wing this summer. Would be interested in seeing some of your pics in the Vetter gallery. Read through your post on the KZ site - very interesting to follow your...

Nice work Bruce! They look great together. Mike

Yes I had lowers. Nice pic btw of the two bikes. looks like a nice camping spot by the river.

Yes only done on a familiar straight road with wide open space on either side. Interesting Brian that your buddy experienced something similar. I didn't have any weight on the back. I think I will ask Craig in the future about aerodynamic lift and testing that he would have carried out at...

I may not again run my XS11 up to 95-100 mph again as I am older and wiser now but I did occasionally back in the eighties. I was surprised on these few occasions that the front end seemed to have a very light feeling and bringing it back down under 90 felt much better. I have always wondered if...

An unusual find for sure! Do you know why they were stored for so long?

Welcome from the Ottawa Valley.

Welcome to the forum! I know what you mean about rainy nights - can be overwhelming with all the reflections! I have mine cut so that in my normal riding position during the day I am looking through the top few inches and then in the rain and at night I just straighten up a bit and look above...

Very nice angles especially viewed from the front. Those early eighties angles do look like a match. Bike looks very nice. Maybe colour matched with original looking pinstriping and Vetter name on back would keep it looking original while matching it. Will be interesting if you can manage to...

Yes your gain for sure! I had forgotten about those 6 cylinder Kawasakis. I don't think they made them too many years. The six pipes have a great look. It will make a nice heavy bike for the TP. Mike

Very nice original condition! Always nice to keep something that nice original but would look nice colour matched too. Tough decision. Did you find it locally or did you have to travel far to get it? I had a two day drive to pick up my TP and two days home. Mike

Nice color combination - someone put some thought into that paint job on the sidecar. Mike

Welcome - interesting sidecar! Is it a modified Terraplane? Sure looks like it. When you say it does not open - is it molded as one piece where it would normally be hinged on one side so that the top can open? Mike
