Sidecar for 2011 250

Otter · August 3rd, 2011, 06:38 PM

Hello,

I've really enjoyed my 250 so far, but I've got a BIG PROBLEM

My new girlfriend is a little on the heavy side, God love her, (4'8"/327#)
We tried riding 2 up the other day, but the rear tire rubbed the whole time-actually wore through the undertail

Besides that, her chubby little legs really couldn't grip the seat well. She fell off 3 times!!! Thankfully I had wrapped her in bubble-wrap (I can't find a suit that fits her), so she was ok. The last time, she rolled down a steep incline and into a small stream. Thankfully, due to the bubble-wrap and her inherent low density, she floats really well

I had my cell phone out to call the EMS/helicopter because I knew I'd never get her back up that hill. But then I saw that the stream wound around and went under a bridge about a quarter mile down. So, I rode down there, found a long stick, and managed to fish her out. Thankfully, she was none the worse for wear-not even wet!

I don't care what she looks like or how much she weighs or the fact that she has a pronounced lisp (after 6 months, I don't even notice it any more-except when she tries to whisper my name during sex-I've asked her to stop-it creeps me out and kills the mood

). She says it's a "gland thing" and that she can't lose weight. I want for us to be able to enjoy riding together. I think if she had a sidecar that might be possible. Anyone know where I might find a sidecar for a 2011 250?

ducducgooseit · August 3rd, 2011, 06:50 PM

Honestly, best bet is to make your own.

CynicalC · August 3rd, 2011, 06:51 PM

C for concept
D- for execution

In before "Wait I can't tell if this is a joke or serious"

Honko · August 3rd, 2011, 06:58 PM

I dunno, I thought the imagery of someone falling down the steep incline into a small stream was pretty damn hilarious.

pugs24 · August 3rd, 2011, 07:00 PM

Thank you sir for posting the single funniest thread I've seen on this forum. Congratulations.

bob706 · August 3rd, 2011, 07:09 PM

Buy a bigger bike, get her a bike or better yet, buy a Ural. A sidescar on a 250 will not work.

Otter · August 3rd, 2011, 07:10 PM

What do you mean-am I serious?

setasai · August 3rd, 2011, 07:11 PM

Ummm... uhhhh If it's a joke, I think it might be a little offensive. If it's not a joke, my honest opinion is get a cruiser.

Otter · August 3rd, 2011, 07:12 PM

Hehe

Otter · August 3rd, 2011, 07:15 PM

My pleasure, Pugs

No, I'm not serious

I've seen the Urals with sidecars-neat!

I don't want one, but I do think it would be funny to see a matching sidecar on 250/sport bike-absolutely pointless and counter to the purpose of sport bikes, but funny

Otter · August 3rd, 2011, 07:19 PM

Offensive? Ok, then I am serious, and I'm going to spend a ton of $ converting my 250 into a trike.

Fail?
What was the test?

TheJimmyEnglish · August 3rd, 2011, 08:18 PM

Hilarious

pugs24 · August 3rd, 2011, 08:27 PM

I mean, the bubble wrap part gave it away. Good work Otter.

Otter · August 3rd, 2011, 08:51 PM

hehe-thanks

Yea, I kinda figured the bubble wrap part, along with a few other things

, would be a gimme

Don't get me wrong I really enjoy this forum. I know that several of my posts have been a bit off the wall, but I want y'all to know that I'm not poking fun at anyone or the forum itself-just figured people like to laugh every now and then. I hope to have something of more value to contribute, as I have received so much of value from here, but I don't have the experience to do that yet. What I can do, for now, is offer a few laughs from time to time. Again, I don't intend to offend or aggravate.

250rr · August 3rd, 2011, 09:08 PM

That was simply awesome. The rule is, if it's funny, it's not offensive.

adri99an · August 3rd, 2011, 09:18 PM

Dammit Otter! Put your mouthpiece in your crotch and your cup in your mouth and go date some large women!

headshrink · August 3rd, 2011, 09:46 PM

You had me in tears dude.

I wanna see a sidecar too.

Otter · August 3rd, 2011, 10:15 PM

Mark: I like that rule

Donger (your given name?

the big mike · August 4th, 2011, 12:59 AM

considering the medical conditions of your girlfriend. you might need something... spacier

"A" · August 4th, 2011, 04:46 AM

I tried sidecar rigs for a few years; they are sluggish, no where nearly as nimble as a motorcycle, or even some cars.
They require good amount of effort to steer/turn, even the lighter hacks; you better have good upper body strength if you want to operate the hack for long period of time.

Ninja 250 maybe not have enough torque to make a decent sidecar rig. You really need an engine with good amount of lowend torque to get the heavy rig going from stop. Something like a Bandit 1200 might be better suited for heavier passenger/sidecar monkey.

You might be better off with a maxi-scoot, like Burgman 650, something with a backrest so she can lean back against.

azimmer11 · August 4th, 2011, 05:10 AM

just buy one of those small Uhaul trailers

SpeedDemon · August 4th, 2011, 05:40 AM

LMFAO this is epic i laughed for like 15 mins after/during reading this
(under the pic it says-Yes they are dangerious to ride. But riding anything else in this picture would be suicide.) Sorry i couldnt figure out how to make it bigger lol

kaiserz · August 4th, 2011, 05:43 AM

Otter · August 4th, 2011, 07:19 PM

Hey Dave, is it trolling to try to inject a little humor into peoples' day?
Is it trolling if people really enjoy reading and responding to the post?

If it is, then I guess I am stupid. If, not, I guess you are.
BTW, I've always thought that mowhawks reeked of intelligence.

I've also always wondered why people respond to posts/threads they think are stupid in the first place? Help me out with that, Dave, or do me a favor. Just don't respond to my posts.

Otter · August 4th, 2011, 07:22 PM

Tony: I like yours better

Mike: Looks like a car, with a side motorcycle

Jon: GECK!!!

Otter you had me laughing so much!!!
I believed the story true until I got to the bubble wrap part,
then I bursted out laughing. Thanks man.

rusninja · August 5th, 2011, 04:29 AM

Having a newgen 250 and a side car is like a hot chick with a mustache, ya a mustache may look cool at times but not in this occasion :P

My wife is weight challenged, so I am totally offended by this thread. Here is a picture of her topless on her Suzuki, just to prove it.
