ABSTRACT:
A side car attachment for a motorcycle including a wheeled frame which is attached to the motorcycle frame forward of the engine by a single or primary hitch coupling. The wheeled frame extends laterally outward from the hitch coupling and then rearwardly on one or both sides of the motorcycle frame. The coupling hitch permits the motorcycle to lean when making turns without any corresponding lean of the side car attachment. The hitch coupling also permits the motorcycle to have its longitudinal axis turn about a vertical axis by a limited amount to give the driver a feeling of independence in spite of the presence of the side car in that the turning radius and leaning are not significantly restricted. The hitch coupling also permits a user to rapidly connect or disconnect the side car from the motorcycle without tools.
