This classic sidecar/motorcycle combo is as comfortable on the road as it would be as patio furniture. Put on your wicker gloves and go! Ride it to the bbq, sit in it during the bbq, ride it home.

When asked what prompted the genesis of his garage man cave, Rob Pederson of Louisville, Kentucky, cited two things. He said, "You can't always have a car to work on," and with a little bit more prodding he added, "My wife wouldn't let me have a room in the house."
It began with a lull in car restoration; Rob picked up an antique Texaco gaspump, and his ManCave grew from there. Over a span of 10-15 years, Rob has built an old-style gas station themed oasis, mostly through finds at swap meets and local gas stations. His cave centers around his first automobile restoration: A 1952 Chevy pickup that he bought from a farmer for $100 in the 70's. Rob's pickup shares the space with 8 other cars, accumulated over the years.
While Rob's ManCave is quite impressive, its not his ultimate goal. What's next? He plans to find a little spot in the country, and transplant his ManCave, recreating a '40's style gas station. It will be a little slice of nostalgia, where he can hang out, and work on his cars. If it all comes to fruition, he might have another ManCave of the Month in his future...

While this set up doesn't have wings, it certainly has...branding. This is quite possibly the only sidecar ever made from something pilfered from the back of a Mini Cooper. Was that gigantic Redbull shotgunned?
Taking the concept of a sidecar to literal levels, this setup oozes Italian engineering and cherry red pizazz. Quite possibly seating three, this sporty rig stretches the concept of street legality. It must be a Ducati.
Blogger's note: Deference to Hemingway requires this post to, as he'd put it, "Get the most from the least, how to prune language how to multiply intensities, and how to tell nothing but the truth in a way that allowed for telling more than the truth." Think about it; its the iceberg theory.
