Like Fred said, with a sidecar the bike is no longer a motorcycle. I read part of the popular little pamphlet about safety when riding a sidecar rig. This is nothing like you have ever ridden/driven. The wrong maneuvers that can be easily made.......scared the hell out of me. Then I heard a horrible story of a couples first and fatal ride with a sidecar. The simple, low speed, maneuver that can totally flip the thing upside down, I just couldn't understand the forces at work to do such a thing. So, I quickly decided that this strange vehicle with it's strange ways was not for me.

Absolute ditto.
Preplan any right turns. You can't lean right, and any decel/braking in a right turn can get you in trouble. A committed right turn, with too much speed, and you'll either flip, or *bonk* into what you're trying to avoid on the left. Common practice is to carry some ballast (bags of concrete) in the sidecar...
My sidecar fender.... since I hated the stock turn signal and tail light.... so I scored a pair of 37' Chevy repop t-lights and a small headlight. Cut a hole, weld'd headlight in place... H/light and t/light bodies will be painted black.
