Yes, dirt roads.
My parents have a farm in the country and my dog always wants to ride on the quad when we go to visit, so this bike is for him.

I also found this old H1 ice racer with the Denco cobra package for me to play with on the farm.

My first job after college was at the Vetter Fairing Co. in 1976. I worked in the design studio and the Tarraplane sidecar was one of the projects. Broken frames were one of the biggest problems we had. Modern motorcycle frames are not designed to handle the extra stress of a sidecar. If you complete this build please regularly inspect the frame and mounting system.

Ended up having John Dennis install the sidecar. (He's been installing sidecars since the 80's)
He even updated some of the original sidecar parts with some more modern one's to make it safer for my dog and I.
I still need to mount a front fender and make the sidecar windshield.
