February ??? In Lake Charles, ILL !!!!!

Guess they figure you can carry a lot of heated gear and blankets in those sidecars..

I too love my sidecar and have 'driven' it in a little ice and snow but NOT on purpose..!!!

Thanks for the pic Texan. Do you guys find that the sidecar rigs are hard to handle? I've been told they are a little different to ride.

You don't ride a sidecar rig, you DRIVE it. Yep, be totally different than riding without it. I climb off the sidecar tug ('02 Ultra) and get on my '08 Ultra...Night and day. When you go to make a left hand turn you let off the gas and it goes right into the turn. Right turn get on the gas bout the time you start to turn. Real easy...no leaning at all. Pull up to a stop light/sign feet stay on the floorboards. Now climb on the '08 and forget to put your feet down. OMG, that leaves a mark. LoL!!!

Not set up right a sidecar rig can pull you arms out of the socket especially on a crowned highway. You ride down the highway with both hands on the left handle bar trying to keep in on the road. Or you're pulling on the left side and pushing on the right. Thing tries to head for the bar-ditch...set up right they're a lot of fun.
