Cool find, interesting article.

More than 1,000 employees built no more than a handful of sidecars annually, fulfilling contracts for clients like the Iraqi and Egyptian militaries. It didn’t help that the Egyptians paid in bouillon — the kind used to make soup.

:awe:

thx op. I finally got around to reading article.


Sidecars always scared me. I have always been afraid of the lack of maneuverability. Interesting that those bikes go where Range Rovers and Hummers cant.
