@cadavernl: They are pretty common in the UK... I got stopped by Metropolitan police somewhere around Swindon for riding my Dnepr MT16 with a right sige sidecar. "endangering the passenger", they called it! I could luckyly convince them, that outside the UK the rest of the world drives on the right side, therefore a sidecar on the right side is the original rigging.
They were not bound by any laws or rules to wear helmets so any any suggestion that they should have been doing so, based on the "bad example to youths" argument, presupposes a rather a lot. If I´m out in the woods on my trail bike and it suddenly strikes me that now would be a good time for a nice wheelie, I can hardly be expected to stop, dismount, and give the leafy boughs and verges a quick once-over to flush out any passing impressionable youngsters.
A left sided side car ... Am I the only one who thinks they are quite rare?

@cadavernl Depends on which side of the road you drive on and or which country the outfit was made in.
