Is this a photoshop pic?

I found this on BMW's community board, are there sidecar rigs that alow the bike to lean? There is also no upper strut, it looks like if the sidecar lost traction(ice patch,mud,etc.) that it could cause the bike to lowside.

wow neat device! The first pic looks odd because they have used photoshop to blur the background, someone had the wrong F stop/lense length on the camera to do the job right in the first place.

Show me a pic of that contraption going hard into a RIGHT turn - I want to see the monkey getting head-butted by the pilot. That thing looks like an accident looking for a place...

I fully agree with collyers and I'm having difficulties visualizing the forces on the bike tires with and without traction of the sidecar tire.....well why bother, I will never buy one anyhow.
