    Very, very custom Laverda side-car rig

    Interesting.....

    http://dvice.com/archives/2009/06/ultimate-sideca.php

    There are motorcycle sidecars, and then there are motorcycle sidecars. This particular mash-up is dubbed the "Snaefell" and is the work of Francois Knorreck. It took him a whopping 10 years and over $20,000 to complete. The motorcycle is a Laverda, and the car itself is actually cannibalized from several different vehicles.

    Hey, if you're going to end up riding in a sidecar, why not make it a full-sized one?

    Different concept. A 1000cc air cooled engine to power a bike and a small car. Must be severely underpowered.

    whoa!! thing looks crazy!! but yea, lugging around a sidecar like that must really weigh down the bike. I've seen air conditioned sidecars and stuff on the road....there comes a time with these things when you wonder... "whats the point?"

    Finally, a bike you can ride to the drive-in.
