Years ago I wrote a column called âFlying the Chair.â It was about our new motorcycle sidecar, which we had just acquired. As my husband quickly discovered, driving a motorcycle with a sidecar is different than riding a bike on two wheels. The sidecar factory back in Iowa told him he had to get comfortable âflying the chair,â which meant lifting the sidecar wheel off the ground on right hand turns.
Philip tried and tried but never got comfortable doing that. So we finally âbit the bulletâ 10 years later. We have sold our beautiful sidecar rig.
