One of the true gentlemen of sidecaring. He always gave of himself and would help anyone any way he could. I wish him the best.
I called him one time to ask about a book on the 75th Anniversery of Watsonion Sidecars. He said. " oh yes that was written by John Proctor in England, give him a call "
He then gave me the phone number from memory. Quite a fellow.

I had one of his rigs on a 650 Yamaha in the late 70s and early 80s. Good rig.
Doug was one of the first people I spoke to about Sidecars. A wonderfully up beat person, that would not tire of talking "Sidecars"! 🙂
I always enjoyed our talks. It just "felt" like talking to an "old friend"!
Wishing you a quick recovery!

Much prayer sent for all, GET WELL SOON, Doug!
Sending heartfelt best wishes his way!!
Sorry to hear this. Just saw Doug at Paso Robles two weekends ago.
He didn't travel up on a rig... which is unusual. We bullted for a while (which is usual) and talked about this years Griffith Park.
From one Valley Dude to another... hoping for a full recovery.

Sorry to see this, I got to meet Doug once back in th late eighties at the rally out in Cape Cod, Mass.
Claude and I were chatting about him just a few days ago. Pray for a full recovery.
God bless and a speedy recovery!!!
He spent an hour on the phone with me educating me about sidecars years ago. I was very up front with him by saying that I wasn't planning on buying anything for quite some time. What a wonderful guy. He's in my prayers.

🙂 That's exactly how our "realationship" started! I imagine it's the same for many of us! Get well soon Doug!
Any updates on How Doug is doing? On his way to recovery, I hope.
Was on the phone for along time with Doug last week and he seems to be doing well.
