    Send a picture to Barber. They might give you some info on the sidecar. Worth a shot IMO

    Congratulations to your daughter major score even at a higher price. Also Spitfire says a bubble like on the batmobile and he would ride the sidecar....well then he grumbled about machine gun mount.... maybe she shouldn't give him a ride.

    NOW....if you see another one....Denise would totally dig on having something like that...the side car for Brick, of course.

    Congrats, great dad move!

    The red tape is insane these days, particularly when for tax purposes a foundation is involved. I’ve had to turn down a lot of major donations of equipment, as a lot of foundations now want you to effectively pay them to serve as a go-between.

    Congrats. I'd love a vintage scoot myself to pick up milk and bread, one day.

    It sounds romantic, but a Yamaha Zuma will accomplish the same task and is way more reliable with widely available parts.
