Towing a Kayak/Canoe with a Sidecar Motorcycle

Filed Under (Bikeography) by Anthony StClair on 29-05-2008

Ah, kayaking — how rarely do we get to go kayaking. Never enough. Never. But with a Ural sidecar motorcycle, well, getting and hauling around a kayak might be just a tidge easier. This IMZ-Ural boards discussion goes into the hows and difficulties of hauling or towing a kayak or canoe with a sidecar rig — experience towing a kayak/canoe?

I am new to the sidecar game and am having a lot of fun with it. Would pulling a trailer like this take the fun out of it, or be extremely hazardous? I never considered pulling anything on a two wheeler, but I find that I keep the sidecar outfit in the middle of the lane more than a two wheeler. Does this make sense?

Follow the whole discussion: experience towing a kayak/canoe?

    Found this site from AntSaint, and this post is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’ve been considering a Ural or Dnepr for a while now, but the biggest strike against it was I had no idea if it would/could haul a kayak.

    Whoo, serendipity!
