Shipping a Sidecar Rig to Europe

My guess would be 72.4 average speed.

How about bloody quick =)

Fuel stops in the states normally do not include fresh warm Stroopwafels, However, you've driven through some mighty fine pie territory.  Therefore my WAG is the stops have a factor of pi added.  3*pi rounded down to 9.42 mph added to the 59.3mph.  Or a total of 68.72mph. 

So far @2FLTC is the closest.... only off by .6 mph.

Today's Sidecar drive was.... eventful..... let's use that word.

I anticipated rain, so I dressed appropriately...to the nines, and the rain came. At the halfway point it came down hard. I stopped for fuel at the north end of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and parked under the canopy for the fuel pumps. After filling up, left the Sidecar rig under the canopy, and ran inside the convenience store. The three employees behind the counter were dumbfounded that someone on a motorcycle would be out in this weather, and in unison they all said...."you know there's LIGHTNING out there"

I just smiled, and shrugged my shoulders, whilst grabbing a cold drink from the coolers.

As I walked up to the counter, one of them asked me..."aren't you afraid of getting hit by the Lightning ?"

I suggested they do a quick search on their phones for... motorcycle rider struck by lightning... Washington State...2013.

And now, they know the rest of the story.

Delivered the Sidecar rig to the new owner this afternoon. Will spend the next 3 days visiting with him, installing a new Utopia backrest onto the RDL seat, helping him erect a secondary shelter to store his original Sidecar rig...the 1995 Wing w/Champion Escort ll.... that's still for sale at $ 8,750.00

Then I fly home next Monday.

Glad you have arrived safely.  Hopefully Cyrus doesn’t get lonely when you head back home.  Cool idea putting up a cover/shelter for the 95 rig.
