Paul, having not rode a motorcycle very often during the winter months, but seeing the military and some other private owners of motorcycles operating them during the winter with or without a sidecar and on various road conditions, I wonder if you have thought of attaching a sidecar for winter use?
Have seen many newer types of motorcycles here with sidecars attached to them, they actually look quite nice and are becoming more frequent on the roads.
Just a thought...
Hello Doug.......!
I've had a few British Motor Bikes fitted with various Sidecars to transport my Wife and family (4 children in a 4-seather Sidecar!) around in the 1950's and 1960's, not having a Motor car during those times.
Perfect transport on icy roads!
The thing is, most modern Japanese motorcycles nowadays are not designed for Sidecars to be attached to them. The frames are not designed to have suitable lugs welded on the frames for Sidecar attachment like they did in the Olden Days, and fitting a Sidecar would nullify the warranty, and be very dangerous.
A Sidecar outfit would take up as much room on our severely congested roads as a Motor Car nowadays, and spoil the joy and freedom of Solo Motorcycling!
Sidecar outfits nowadays would be a speciality...very rare!
A definite knack in operating a Sidecar outfit when cornering!
Lots of fun though...and the Rider still gets wet and cold!

Perhaps you need one of these Paul.
Sorry it's a bit late but I just found it when looking through my photos.
