Re: sidecars
How can you just pose for a photo op while a plane has crashed right behind you! If it was a vintage aircraft I bet you would be more concerned.

Re: sidecars
Having ridden several models over many years I believe the Goulding is the best choice. I have had 2 rocket models and am presently mounting one on a chief project. We did a 3 month trip with our Hd set up on our panhead Coolbreeze many years ago which presently has a Goulding Rocket combo.

My only experience with a Goulding was on a Chief;
It was okay if you could manage the kicker.

Re: sidecars
I plan on this Chief project to be my elder bike project , electric start , low seat height , rigid of course. From what I have been able to research the Indians are ahead of Harley enthusiast in respect to electric start. On one run with our U L in and around Yosemite some Indian Chief folks had a pull cord setup installed and would tell people it was to start the bike. One had a routine down pat where he would pull the cord at the same time hitting the button.
As before my experience is that the Goulding car handled better than the H D car.
