I just turned 70 years young. I just put my Champion Escort onto my 96 Yamah Royal Star a couple of months ago. Yesterday, Billie Leonard, ID Rep. and myself spent 7 hours on a course learning how to ride sidecars properly. You can take the Idaho Star Program sidecar course for $75. It is a very intense course. It is 3 hours of text book learning, and then 7 hours on the course. You learn road skills, survival skills such as swerving, proper braking, taking the proper route around curves. It was very educational and I am very glad we both took it. Billie started riding a sidecar rig in 1983, but she said she learned new skills yesterday. I highly recommend it. Dave
Where is the side car course and any chance of a traveling course? I would love to get a course in Wy.
Closest sidecar training may be in Idaho.
Check with Ax Axmaker the director of the Star Program.

Dave and I just completed the Star sidecar training program Saturday at Hayden, ID. It was a great class. Very informative and even though I have ridden with a sidecar since 1983, I learned a lot. The braking tecniques and swerving skills really improved my stopping distance. I highly recommend it. It is only $75 for a two day course. The first day is learning all about riding with a sidecar from a text book. The next day is a 7 hour day of being on the course and actually doing all the stuff we read about in the book. I can't say enough about our skilled instructor. She has a Harley Sidecar outfit and rides. The same course in Washington is $300.
Had to get in on this...because as of today at 3:43 AM I was officially older than dirt...lol.
Who'd of thought that my Dad (God rest his sole he would have been 83 this yr.) and Mom
50 yrs. and 9 mos. ago procreated a Harley Hacker...lol. And livin' to see another 50 as such,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY " to me !!!
Happy Birthday!!! Many, many more!!!
And my daughter became monday sweet little 18 and Jolly Roger 2 will become her initial riding as soon she finishes the driving licence after college degree in a couple of weeks.
I hope she will not whack out more lights then she did already in the farm.
For myself I'll get me something more beefy with a water cooled 4 stroker
