Yes, one hell of a lot better than expected.

Just had to hold throttle open longer and harder in second gear before change up.

If you used the solo style throttle in second you got a slight tank slapper. Compensate by turning handle bars away from side car just before opening throttle and it went straight.

Killed a few kerbs with the side car wheel and frightened a pedestrian or two before getting width right. The pedestrians saw the XT but not the sidecar.

You can carry a lot of Beer in the sidecar.
