I know many of you took some great photos while having fun at the rally in Iuka. Share them with members who could not be there by emailing them to "editor@sidecar.com".   The next issue of the Sidecarist will feature rally photos.  Deadline to submit is the first of August. Just a couple of weeks away.

 

If you had a great time at the rally, include your comments with the photos. It was a fantastic rally enjoyed by all. Sidecarists are special group of riders that really enjoy sharing their love of their off-set rigs.

Ha!  Miles.

Being in a different Hemisphere might have something to do with it.

🤣

It's a bit of a wild wet and windy night here in Shoalwater tonight.

Staying close to the heater.

Will see what the Beach looks like in the morning.

More seaweed?

Less seaweed? 

Hope Ya'all are having a good time.

Bruce Carson, I will make this special invitation to you, and you alone....I just happen to have an extra sidecar rig (because everyone should have an "extra" sidecar rig), and it is fully road ready, every finite thing done to it, ready for me to ship to Germany next February.

SO.....if you want to fly over to here, from your home in Western Australia, and land in Seattle, I will pick you up at the airport, and you can use my extra sidecar rig to ride along with the sidecarists I am picking up on my way...1,900 miles, or 3,078 kilometers, to the Flint Hills Sidecar Rally in Council Grove, Kansas, Sept 5th - 8th.

On the way back, we will stop off for a snack of Donut Holes in Broken Bow, Nebraska, and visit the childhood home of one of our USCA Officers (he looks like a Shrek character), then skeedaddle back to Washington State. The entire trip will be 4,000 miles, or 6,480 kilometers, and you will have to drive this rig with the sidecar on the right side of the bike, meaning the "correct" side (ha ha ha).

If you are up to it, are game, it is a serious invitation, and offer.

That would be pretty epic! 😎 

Bruce @brstr  Make sure you are a few feet west of Miles when you two start the trip to the rally, so you get the trophy for furthest ridden to the event.  Then when someone back home asks you can say;  "Yes, I received the trophy for further ridden to Flint Hills, Kansas".

Scott, let there be no doubt, if Bruce flies over from Western Australia, and does as I have invited him to do, I will personally make sure that HE wins the Longest Distance Sidecarist trophy. It would be the only honorable thing to do.

Done.  I broke them into 4 emails with info so that if any don't make it Martin can let me know and I'll re-send them.

Apologies for being so late with them.

@miles-ladue OK Miles likes to rattle my cage a bit. And yes I am grateful for yet another genuine offer.  

Looked up the flight scanner thingie.

Thought need allow time either side of the ride. 

So end of August till the end of September.  

600 odd deals offered.

Flight times varied from just under 24 hrs to more than 40hrs.

With a prior warning of a technical incident causing delays.

" Best deal " AU$2300  odd return with 31.5 hrs travel time.

Actually more like 31.1416 hrs.

Plus getting too and on the plane here.

Probably the travel time being the bigger concern.

The wife is studying photography and photoshop this year and so is locked in till December or so.

It would be a solo trip.

If.

Now what else is planned?

Cambodia?
