I must make an addendum to my comment.

A movie with a sidecar wouldn't be complete unless the sidecar fell off or it crashed.

I saw a movie called Orlando filmed in 1992 that had a sidecar in it at the last part of the film and it "did not crash and no was was fearing for their life". The sidecar police must have been out of the cutting room when they were editing the film.

Glad to see some of you saw hacks at Sturgis.I was there with mine but only saw a couple others.Of course to avoid the crowds we come 3 weeks early and leave on the Sat before it actually starts.Had toget up to look at Hanigans booth Sat before leaving but missed the unveiling of the new Indian,would like tohave seen them as I also have a 48/a car but didn't bring it out this year. If you saw a blue GW1500 with a Daytona 2+2 that was me/We stay down by Rapid so spend most of our time around Keystone and hillcity,Lot of nice riding there.Incidentaly if you plan on hitting any deer I would recommend using a SC.Took one across the fairing and the car.Only damage a chipped fron fender and lot of stress cracks in the front of the car .did knock the winshield out of the car but was easily replaced by local window outfit in Rapid!.Put us up on 2 wheels but afraid is had been without the car would have gone down.The deer wasn't so lucky he died for his lack of attention to where he was going!Now only problem trying toget it repaired! Lot of bueatiful riding out there!!!Safe riding

Sorry I missed you, I got there Saturday for the "reveal' of the new Indian. Quite a production. I saw a couple of neat rigs on the freeway, one out of the Badlands and one near Rapid City. Others scattered throughout the hills. I did go to Spearfish and test drove the new Ural. They have come a long way. Cheers.

DId try the Ural few years ago up there liked the simplicity of it but at least then it wasn't meant for people over 6'.It felt just to small or my feet were to big for the cramped pedals then the stories about the mech problems of it kind of scared me.I suppose someone riding an old Indian/SC shouldn't complain about mech problems!Looked for one of the cars when had my ol Guzzi thought it would look nice on there but it has gone onto new owner.Now only GW-Champion and old Indian/car.Just getting the Indian back on the road after restoration and electric starter install much to be said for that little button.Only have 6 miles on it so guess will have tomake more effort!Ride Safe
