Alizium Auto Blogs: Most Insane Sidecar Project Ever!

Even though three-wheeled vehicles kind of sketch me out, I’ve always wanted a bike with a sidecar. And while my dream machine is a dead-simple, olive-drab WWII-era Harley, the craftsmanship evident on François Knorreck’s Laverda-based project is astonishing. While the 1000cc engine was carried over from the original bike, and some parts were lifted from a few cars—Renault, Citroen, BMW, VW and Audi—virtually everything else was custom fabricated by Knorreck. The sidecar is set up to carry two passengers, and though I have to wonder what the handling is like—Predictable? Scary?—I’d be more than willing to take it for a spin. Head over to the Kneeslider for more details on the build, and check out a couple more pics after the jump.
