Pix of your rig

My Interceptor / with TripTeq Heeler

We built this rig this summer and I am having a great time with it. It is easy to remove the car and can be driven as a two wheeler in about 15 minutes.
So far of all the rigs I have built, it is my favorite.
It has even been featured in gespann-news.de

My wifes hack

Rita showed here new sidecar rig at the Return to Trenton Rally "Sidecars In The Park" This was the first time it has been to a show and she was pleased to win the trophy for Presidents choice from the Lonnie-Tic BMW Riders.
This is a 1977 Honda CB750 A (automatic) with a Velorex 562. The sidecar frame has been over built with 565 type frame braces plus and a Doug Bingham inspired Heavy Duty suspension. The paint was done by Jerry Arseneault of New Brunswick. His paint was featured in the 2010 PPG paint calender on his award winning Opel GT.


Thanks to Jerry for the paint, my brother Mark for the upholstry work and Rita for having the patience while I built it for her.


Congratulations Rita

My new toy

Just bought this '82 R100RS with a EML frame and Squire chair. Will be spending the next couple of months getting it ready for next summer! Oh, just got the WA state permit, and am signed up for the Adventure Sidecar S/TEP class in Hood River, OR, next weekend. :dance

upgraded the tug

Swapped out my R90/5 tug for a '78 R100. I like old school rigs and this one has better brakes. It looks kinda neat in front of the coop building mural.

K12RS w/ Hannigan Conde Classic

Just had this rig assembled at Hannigan's shop. Bought the car used about 70 miles from the shop, just made sense to have them do the install. Re learning hack skills after 30 years, taking s S/TEP class this month. Matching paint to come.......

Long Distance Sidecar

Hi All,

This outfit from America won the Long Distance Award at the European Sidecar Rally last year. Some called the rig a piece of sh*t until they found out it had just done 26,000 kilometers through Europe and North Africa. But I have to admit the Europeans are far ahead of us in design and fabrication. I saw some amazing rigs over there.

Take Care,
Coach

p.s. Check out the thread about sidecar training at the 2012 BMWMOA rally.

K1200Lt with Hannigan Bandito

I recently added this Hannigan Bandito to my 2009 K1200LT. Even after going through a S/TEP program, my first reaction to riding my rig was, "what have I done"?! I have since put about 1800 miles on it, I have really warmed up to what the hack has given me. I accept the nuances and three axis forces that test my 40 years of riding on two wheels. The muscle memory and other physical factors in adapting to a sidecar rig are becoming very normal, and I actually look forward to taking it out on the road. So far my gas mileage is about 36-38 MPG at 65-70 MPH (down from 44MPG). So far I have not noticed a significant tire wear on either the front or the back wheels.
