In 1958 my Uncle picked me up at Heathrow Airport and rode me over 30 miles thru the English countryside to Grandma's House in Slade Green -- in sidecar. Great fun for an 11-year-old.
For the Savage, rather than trying to build my own, I'd go with a
Watsonian Stratford sidecar -- only 150 pounds. Savage should handle it just fine and still be able to do at least 65mph. I also have a local
SideCar Dealer for help making/modifying/adjusting the mount.
I asked the girls if they would ride in a sidecar if I got one. They looked at me as if I were asking them to wallow in a pig sty. I get to stay solo.
