why drive a car, when i can ride?

that bimmer is cool, and i might go that route, i still has to be rreliable as i still have to drive to/from work, then pick the kids up.

maybe 2 sidecars so Z can ride them too school, lol

Look at Homeslice's contractor thread.

Triumph has some great "retro" bikes with modern reliability.

Ok, I can't really say because I haven't ridden one myself, but I've heard that riding with a sidecar rig isn't very much like "riding" anymore. It completely changes the feel and the cornering capabilties.
Take that away and what's left? You're basically just driving a convertible car that you have to gear up for.
Sure, it's something unusual, probably exciting for the kids... but are you really going to enjoy it enough to justify that much room taken up in your garage?
