SIDECAR OPERATOR TRAINING in PA.
QUESTION TO ALL.
How many would possibly be interested if we offered sidecar operator training here in the area beginning in the spring of 2018. NOTE: This would not be affiliated with any other sidecar training group or organization .It would be using our own curriculum and to begin with would be a one day course. We would supply a sidecar outfit or you could use your own if it met our approval. It would include classroom sessions and also hands on operation. Cost of this is not determined at this time.
Open for comments. We are basically testing the waters for interest right now. etc

Claude,

I think more training in more locations is a GREAT idea! Unfortunately, with my wife's mobility issues, PA is outside my range.

Northeast Ohio here. I would be interested. Maintenance as part of the curriculum would also be of interest (or seperate class).

I'm trying to find something close to Detroit. Sad that that would be the closest... sigh. I might be interested if I can swing it, but it's pretty far, I'm guessing the 8 hour range. Riding the touring bike down to learn on your rig is a decent option still, though. 🙂

To be clear: This wouldn't be an official, endorsement-ready, class, just a skills class for self-improvement. Correct? I have Hough's yellow book, and plan to be doing that curriculum on my own, too bad MSF doesn't recognize sidecars as relevant. (Boo! Hiss!) It would be great to have someone who knows something actually show me something, though.

I would also be interested in sidecar operator training.  I attended Cluade's class at Corning, NY a year ago last summer.  It was fund and I learned some things, but I don't know it all.

Sidecar operator training is very difficult to find in this part of the country.  GWRRA and ABATE have 2-wheel and trike classes readily available, but don't offer sidecar operator classes that I'm aware of.
