HI FOLKS:
Live in New England; cannot help directly. He recently bought GL1500 rig that's pulling hard left, causing him real grief; is about ready to give up The Third Wheel. Setup is obviously very wrong & after he went to NON-sidecar m/c shop, they made rig alignment WORSE!
Looking for compassionate, experienced sidecar owner/rider who may live in his general neighborhood: OLIVE HILL, KY. Please contact me if you can help; will pass your contact info along. Wish to respect his privacy, so this would seem best way to go.
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE! TTFN........Old Tom aka papasmurf in NH

If the gentleman is able to do his own rigging or has help, I'm sure our good friend Claude can walk him through it.
Or will align it for him, Eh, Claude?

I believe I may have talked to this guy prior to having the heart attck,think i may have the name and number in my toolbox. I find out Monday when they are going to let me back to work,so I will try to follow up on it then. I try to help out a fellow sidecarist when I can.

LATEST UPDATE:
The gentleman found out about HANNIGAN SIDECARS! Factory is close to his home. He's now seriously considering putting EML GT3 up for sale; getting a Hannigan. So for right now, am waiting to hear back from him on his next move. Don't want to have someone taking their precious time to go to assist him, only to find out he solved this problem himself. Will re-post here when he contacts me again. TTFN.....papasmurf in NH 🙂
