I stopped by Walmart and saw some Motorcycle Handlebar Bags and the gears started turning.

LOL... Nope, no groceries. :lol: Maybe my locks, tools and camera. I am currently working on a trailer for the grocery runs.

I keep thinking I want to have a leaning side car for my stretch. Though I'm also the same guy that keeps thinking a pair of 90mm EDF engines with propane afterburners would be a practical electrical assist for it too.

I've always thought the Zibia was an inspiring design for a cargo side car.

Because the chainstays are so low and long on the stretch cruisers it seems like it might possible to make a slick easy mount. The fun thing about a side car is that if you were bringing home beer you could simply reach over and get one anytime you wanted. I think I'd also want to size it so a cooler fit in perfectly, maybe even have a drop in BBQ... So basically a couple of bikes and you've have a rolling party!
