Hey folks,
Old man with tin knees just mounted Texas sidecar to my Roadstar so I can keep riding ...... ain`t that what its all about?? (72yrs young) left England in 1964 lived in N.E. Florida since ..... wifey likes to ride whenever she can.....
she is still a bit dubious about riding in sidecar....I need more practice....she remarked "those mailboxes look awful close" I must remember to stay left more now I have a 3rd wheel?? .... been browsing this forum for awhile to get info: before deciding on "hack" ..... want to let Ya`ll know, owner of Texas sidecars, Bob Darden is very helpful, and follow-up service is great............

Congrats on the new sidecar OleBrit. I too recall having to learn to stay in the left track as well. There is info re: driving here: www.sidecar.com/links3.asp. Jena & I both recommend a training course if one is available. Take your time learning, practice, practice some more. And have fun.

Congrats and Welcome to the world of Hacks OLDBRIT. Have fun and be a little extra careful for a while you'll be fine. Ed.
Hey OldBrit,
Where are you in NE FL?
My family is from Fernandina Beach, I ride out there every so often from the Panhandle.
FWIW when we had the Reflex/Texas rig I rode in it with my wife at the controls....the mail boxes seemed damn close to me too 😉
Ogre, we are located between Gainsville and Palatka...Keystone Heights....we have one stoplight, thats all anyone needs??
Oldbritgit.........
I can honestly say I have never been thru Keystone Heights.
Passing thru Interlachen is as close as it gets.
Cook Bayou is also a thriving metropolis here in the Panhandle.
We have a few stop signs, a marina/bar and a good number of the roads are actualy paved now....thats all I need 😉
