While vacationing in sunny FL last week (before returning to 10 deg F MD Saturday) I saw this rig while heading into Daytona Beach. The funny part is, I saw him again 2+ hrs later after leaving town, and he had a cartop carrier somehow attached to the platform, oriented vertically on its side. I wasn't able to get a photo that time since we passed head-on. So now I know that flatbed utility sidecars are a thing.

Here's a BSA single carrying another BSA single (or is it just spare parts?). Note the mighty single leading shoe half-width hub front brake on the red bike, weak even as a solo ride. Maybe there's an anchor on board.

That's very interesting! I noticed our local sidecar rider a few days ago, plying around on his Enfield Interceptor 650 with a sidecar. Not sure what he hauls around with it, but every time I see him, he's got lots of cargo tied or strapped to his rig.
You know what? I actually would like a pickle.

Looks like a good way to get a biker from the funeral to the cemetery.
There's a difference in riding a naked bike and riding a bike naked.
Won't make that mistake again.

That's brilliant Tev. I hope they guarantee to get the sidecar wheel off the road at least once on the way.
