@none I never got past putting a 5 Gallon Jerry can on my inder but I need to figure out the electrical pump situation for an actual road trip rig
Best advice i can give is simply ride and enjoy for a bit before making changes. Its a nice well mannered old Lady with lots of life left, burns no oil at all=)

Interested if you could send me a message, it would be appreciated.
@shadowdragon where are you located? This group of people has been known assist with long distance relays for buyers. I CAN tell you that if you’re at all experienced with operating a trike or sidecar rig, this is an EXCELLENT candidate for a fly-n-ride home. It won’t surprise you with bad handling or mechanical issues. It has been in this organization for some time.
OTOH, if you’re new to operating a sidecar i would advise that you transport or trailer it home if it does work for you.

I am happy to chime in regarding this '95 Goldwing w/Champion Escort ll sidecar, as I know it well... know the current owner very well... and knew the previous owner well .
This Sidecar rig is perfect for a Fly 'n Ride, or pilot....so fly into Wichita, Kansas....the owner will pick you up at the airport, a relatively short drive to his house, then pilot this rig back home.
Seriously.... this Sidecar rig is ready...Ready ...READY.

Yea me and an ex girlfriend rode a similar 1980s (can't remember the exact year) goldwing aspencade with a similar paint job and a california sidecar about 20,000 km in a summer riding across Canada. I definitely wouldn't be afraid of a fly n ride home. Even though it would be a week or two trip back for me.

Let's see if WE can get this 1995 Honda Goldwing w/Champion Escort ll sidecar rig SOLD...
by making you potential Buyers an...Offer Ya Can't Refuse 😎
Okay, the original price that Steve (the Seller) was asking for this sidecar rig was...$ 9,750.00....then he dropped it down to $ 9,200.00.....and more recently he dropped it down to $ 8,200.00.
In MY opinion (because I know this sidecar rig very well, and this rig has a very positive history in the United Sidecar Association, I felt this sidecar rig was worth every dollar of the original asking of price of $ 9,750.00.)
But, things are what they are, and people look, then don't buy, so they move on.
Because I know of the parking environment that the Seller needs to park, and shelter his TWO sidecar rigs, it would be best for him to sell this 1995 Honda Goldwing SE with Champion Escort ll sooner, rather than care for it during the upcoming Winter months.
Ergo, and therefore....I make this offer to potential buyers:
The new selling price for this sidecar rig is $ 6,000.00 payable to the Seller, Steve Ives, and I will personally pay the difference to Steve Ives....so I will pay Steve Ives the $ 2,200.00 difference, so that he gets his full value of his latest asking price.
Buyer, you pay the Seller $ 6,000.00 for this Road Ready, all prepped....ready to be piloted from Buffalo, Kansas to Portland, Maine, or San Diego, California, or Blaine, Washington..it IS that Road Ready.
And once the deal is completed....I will pay Steve Ives the balance owed, of $ 2,200.00, so that he is complete and all paid for.
Only a crazy person would refuse this offer.
If you want to do a Fly 'n Ride, fly into Wichita, Kansas, the Seller will pick you up there at the airport, and take you the 100 miles to his house, and you can pilot this sidecar rig home to wherever you live.
The Seller just took this 1995 Goldwing SE w/Champion Escort ll rig out for a drive 2 days ago, and he was pleased with how it drives, and it brought back fond memories.
He also has a 2015 Goldwing w/Hannigan GTL sidecar rig, that he and his dawg CY enjoy, and that is the only reason he is selling his 1995 Goldwing SE w/Champion Escort ll rig.
Come on.....buy this rig from Steve Ives, and I will even throw in 2 boxes of Stroopwaffles.
