The 3rd wheel has to be aligned so the entire rig does not pull to the left or right while riding. This however is at a constant speed only. Accelerating the rig will pull a bit to the right and under braking it will try to go left. Lots of steering input to learn and be aware of to ride safely. A narrow close fitting side car will have less effect on steering but it will always be there.
No more counter steering like you do on 2 wheels. You steer like a car so there is your learning curve again. This is a real danger when you have learned to ride 2 wheels and react with muscle memory and habit. My friend Don crashed his 1st Ural within 15 minutes of buying it. A life time of 2 wheels had to be modified big time. Don healed, the bike was fixed and he proceeded to live on it for 3 or 4 years. His 2nd Ural is still running well and a far better bike than the 1st. His biggest complaint with the 1st was side car alignment. The 2nd rig is a dream with no mind of it's own. He buys tires in bulk when he can. Yeah, he rides that much. Retirement does have advantages.
