Click on the link below to read Hal's work. It's a big file, so be patient. This one is 700 pages so we split it into chapters. If you have a dial up connection, you can also get this and all of Hal's books on a CD from him. Details are at the end of this message.

Hal Kendall, noted sidecar authority and founding member of the United Sidecar Association, has asked that we post the following books to the website in their entirety. When I asked Hal what prompted him to make such a generous offer, he replied as follows;

“The reason for giving the manuals to the USCA, and making them available at cost via CD-ROM from my home is that safety should NOT be something that needs to be BOUGHT if you can't afford it. If you believe in it, it must be freely shared.”

If you want a CD, just drop Hal an e-mail at hkendall1@houston.rr.com the price is $10 for US address, $15 for overseas.

The address for Hall hkendall1@houston.rr.com yielded

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

:
No MX or A records for houston.rr.com

Iim on TWC who bought out all of rr.com so I believe the address is bad.

Hal passed away some time back. If you want his books please contact me and I will burn you a CD.

Would like to get a copy of Hals books... How do I go about that?

They are all available right here
