			As most, or at least some of you would know, I just bought a Suzuki TL1000R, I know, I know, Blasphemy right ??!! Anyway I've been having trouble selling the TRX; probably because it's the start of winter here, but it's still annoying because it's a great bike, and it deserve's to be ridden, not sat in my shed. Ok I had a few beers tonight and something stupid my dad said made me think; hey why not, a trx could make a good sidecar outfit!!!? To my defense it has been done before!

Whats your thoughts? Should I keep trying to sell it, or do something ridiculous (but possibly fun!)?

			wel it doesn't need to lean and car tyres are a hell of a lot cheaper and last longer. Why would you not? Common on proper trike/side car conversions.

			The sidecar picture has a NO and a YES to me.
NO..... in a way it's hiddious  
 
YES.... for someone who wants a REX with a sidecar  
 
What to do with a 'left alone in the dark spot in the shed' REX..... turn it in to a racer and GO!!
