I saw a nice RSV Mille outfit in Edinburgh recently it looked like a tall version of a racing outfit, the fairing and the side car were all one shell, leading link forks with a huge front wheel.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

After a lot of adjusting and fine tuning the RS was a very neutral steering outfit, but I know what you're talking about some are horrors. I could hold it in a straight line easily with two fingers on one bar only. I rode it 17,500kms in 7.5 weeks back in '02 without me feeling stiff and sore at all. The handling did change from state to state though with different road construction methods(road camber has a big effect). I took all the tools required to adjust it if I needed to.

It would be nice if I still had it, but I'd run out of garage space, either the Jag or the sidecar ended up living in the driveway every night. Also I wouldn't have the TDM if I still had it. I sold an R1100R(150,000kms) and the sidecar (190,000kms) to finance something newer and younger(which was the TDM).

Still love sidecars though, lots of fun. Maybe one day I'll have another.

Anyone want to buy a '66 S-type Jaguar (OD, Dayton wires)? I think its going to go anyway to make the Scotland trip next year more affordable.
