ecuador-peru-bolivia-argentina WITH SIDE-CAR?
 
hey there -

we´re two travelling on a Yamaha 650 and we are thinking of attaching a side-car that we found. the reasons are: extra safety (we´re both beginner drivers, not used to big engines), comfort, practicality. the downside, we are told, is mainly to do with parking the vehicle safely in hostel corridors/room, generally keeping it safe.
basically, we would love to here from you more experienced travellers of what you think may be the pros and cons of having a side-car for a lengthy trip. please let us know your comments asap!

thanks for your help,
reka and pepo

Nice Challenge here!
 
I would go for it,but be warned of doing a clean strong work by adding the sidecar to the 650(wich bike?).
Here a link to the most advanced(not to say fanatic) sidecar travellers
