10 trendy motorcycle sidecars for a cool and comfy ride

 Mohanty:

When it comes to biking, every young man gets Goosebumps. Sidecars have always complimented a bike since ages, not only spaciously but cosmetically too. However, very few of us know that the first sidecar was seen in a cartoon picture of George Moore published in a British newspaper "Motor cycling" way back in January 7 1903. Three weeks later, a provisional patent was owned by Mr. M.J. Graham, one of the Graham brothers, who then went into a partnership with Jonathan A. Kahn to start the manufacturing of sidecars.

Talking about coffins leads us to a motorcyclist who has designed the sidecar of his bike into a look alike of a coffin! Seems crazy, but the biker loves it. We are not aware of any biker actually crashing into a coffin but as far as this bike is concerned, the coffin plays the role of the sidecar, which is attached to a beautiful stock cruiser. It is not a hearse but still is regularly driven with this look. Moreover, the skull headlight enhances its deadly look to many folds. It surely does look a ghost rider ride if seen in a single glance. The bike's comfortable seating also cannot be ignored as it serves the best purpose for cruisers when thinking about a ride to the countryside.
