Awesome story! Can't wait till my grandson is big enough to ride. He's already into Harleys. I take him to dealership all the time. The look on his face when we walk in is indescribable!

Thanks, guys (and gals ). She told me a bunch of people came up to her the next day at school and had to talk about it. She's loving it (and yes, so am I).

Liz, suburbanmom, et al - yeah, I'm not particularly looking forward to the teen years. I do think she's going to be quite the little diva. I figure I'll just lock her in her room for about ten years, that should take care of it.

Ole Coyote -- IIRC, you have a Motorvation car coming? They do seem to take a while getting it done, but it's worth the wait. These sidecars are really very well made, and they are beautiful. If you haven't done so yet, check out the Hacks section of the Adventure Rider forum --

One of the best forums around. Some incredible photographs in this thread, not just of sidecar rigs (amazing ones), but also of the insane things people do with them.

More later!

Great story and a great dad. My daughters are grown now but I have the grandkids coming up. Now you've done it, now I have to start looking for a sidecar.
