ABSTRACT:
A non-rigid motorcycle side car chassis having a rigid lock device. The side car frame is pivotally connected to the motorcycle frame, so that when the motorcycle is turning left or right, the side car will not hinder or impede such turning. A locking device is diagonally disposed between the motorcycle frame and the side car frame, and is locked when the vehicle is parked or moving at a slow speed, to thereby orient the respective frames in orthogonal relation to one another. The wheel of the side car is pivotally mounted so that it turns toward the direction of travel as the motorcycle turns, and an elongate bias means serves to limit the travel of such wheel and to dampen the turning action.
