There's beautiful workmanship in all of them.  The old basket style had a certain panache to it.
Something about sitting up side by side having a chat.  Not sure I'd like to take the sidecar off and try pushing those handlebars through the twisties.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
