Back in the 70's I ran around Europe on one of these

The sidecar didn't have the windscreen or bumper but did have a spare on back and it had been painted red,yellow and black. In the Winter it did OK even kept your feet warm with those opposing heads.

Cool. Those opposed cylinder heads always freak me out. I’d hate to have to really lean into a turn and scrape the head. Maybe it’s a visual perception thing and not as bad as it looks. I’ve never ridden one.

Not sure I’d want to ride through the deserts out west either. I think I’d cook my feet. My FJR is my first watercooled bike and I have to say I’m impressed with how well they’ve managed to route airflow so as not to cook the rider.
