Jeff, I'm sure that you've done some reading about riding them. I had a URAL with a sidecar for a few years. Couple points to remember. You have to steer into and out of a turn, they don't lean. Be careful on hard right hand turns, the sidecar likes to come up. Remember that you have almost 4' more sticking out the right hand side so watch where your position yourself. First time I took a left turn out of my driveway, I almost side swiped a car parked on the right side......have fun with it!

Local county fair, the air is filled with whimsical music and a faint mechanical hum and children's laughter and screams echo across the field. The air smells of cotton candy, grease, and stale popcorn. As you finish a game that is clearly rigged, you win a stuffed panda for your sweetheart. She smiles and has that glint in her eye. Suddenly, she asks you what is wrong. You realize that corndog you had 20 minutes ago doesn't want to go down without a fight. The smell is replaced with the fermented stink that can only come from portapotties as you near them. You quickly drop trow and plop down. You feel the instant relief that only this can bring. Then the unthinkable happens. The blue water splashes on your bum. What do you do?
