I can't bring myself to go the Voyager/Goldwing route yet. I'm only 31 and my girlfriend prefers to follow on my little 350f than riding with me....maybe one day.


Get a Goldwing and set it up like this...



That way there will be plenty of room for ur girlfriend AND her sister! ;D

That looks like one of those Auburn Wide sidecars  8)
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !

It is indeed an Auburn.  Good eye!
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

I had a customer back in 1997' who had a BMW R90/6 and also an Auburn sidecar;he's a stringed Bass jazz musician and was able to fit that 'Big Fiddle' in the sidecar when he went to play music.  :D

I have a sidecar as well but it's a 2wd Ural that I use as a witer vehicle. Can't say I'd trust it to go on a long trip, nor does it really have the power to cruise at ease like my Nighthawk did.
