I’m assuming for know that the USCA is the largest national sidecar organization, my question is how many members attend the larger national bike rallies such as Sturgis, Daytona, Myrtle Beach, National Hog Rally, etc. and if any of the more well known Side Car Manufactures and authorized dealers attend these popular, but primarily solo bike rallies?

I've been to the Sturgis, Daytona and Myrtle Beach rallies. I don't recall seeing any sidecar dealers at Sturgis, although I might just have missed them. There are always dealers at Daytona. I don't care much for the Myrtle Beach rally, there's no place to ride. I can't definitely say whether or not there are any sidecar dealers who attend, but I daresay that there are. All in all, seeing other sidehackers is pretty rare, but you're close enough to check out Daytona and Myrtle pretty easily. You can usually find dealers at any of the Goldwing rallies and every state has one. I see that you have a Harley, but that doesn't matter, there are always Harleys at Goldwing rallies.

The USCA national rally will be the first bike specific rally for us, [by the way, somebody did a nice job on the USCA Rally info link] and like you, in all the years we’ve been going to the big name rallies I can’t remember ever seeing anything relative to sidecaring, vendors, clubs, sidecars. Just curious.

The Rally link and info is a product of our own VP Steve Woodward. I asked him for a simple form and he just kept gathering info. It IS a great place. A big Thank you to Jim Doyle for the pictures and doing the ground work to make it all happen. Hope to meet you all there!
Hey thanks Duck & Joyce! I'll add to what Joyce said. Without Jim Doyle doing all the leg work, none of this would have been possible. Hope to meet you there!
