Quote from senorcosta on December 1, 2010, 11:29 pmHi all
I live in northern NJ (Chester Twp.) and I am in the process of setting up a 1989 Honda Pacific Coast with a Velorex 563. I would like to meet other sidecar enthusiasts. Actually, I run another regular motorcycle board at www.ssyso.com . It started out as a joke as a few of us had yellow V-Stroms. It's now turned into a bunch of really nice people who ride and hang out together.
Anyway, I degress. If you are within shot of Morris County NJ, and have a bike with a sidecar, I'd love to meet you 🙂

Quote from SwampFox on December 2, 2010, 7:34 amWelcome Gus. I'd suggest we meet for breakfast Saturday morning, but I can't quite make it to Jersey this weekend.
Keep us posted re: your PC800 rig.

Quote from senorcosta on December 2, 2010, 6:35 pmThanks Ralph . I will definitely get ahold of you in the spring when it warms up. Jersey winters suck for riding for me. My Greek blood can't take the cold. My number is 973-462-0702
Thanks again....
BTW, is that a Velorex in your avatar?

Quote from bluehdmc on December 31, 2010, 6:39 amHi,Gus and Dean, NJ also, (Wayne) I have a 2004 Ultra Classic with TLE sidecar, right now it's a project replacing the triple tree and have to check the cam chain tensioners, and a couple of other little odds and ends. Too cold to work in the garage and work schedule sorta gets in the way. Maybe in the springtime we could meet up. Not too many sidecars in our area.

Quote from senorcosta on December 31, 2010, 9:03 amWell, that makes four of us so far in NJ. Maybe we can have a parade 🙂 haha Seriously, we should at least have a small gathering sometime in the spring/early summer. NJ is not THAT big and I am sure we could find a common meeting ground.
BTW Dean, it's at a standstill. Waiting for it to get painted plus its just too damn cold to work on it anyway. Hopefully, by March it'll be put together and ready for some trials.

...we should at least have a small gathering sometime in the spring/early summer. NJ is not THAT big and I am sure we could find a common meeting ground....Gus, you may want to pick a good weekend at a somewhat interesting location for an informal get-together for sidecar enthusiasts. Possibilities include campgrounds, marinas and the like. The Uncertain?Rendezvous Caddo Lake rally began with such the simple idea: We just selected a facility with a cafe', reasonable accommodations and a place to hang out and tell stories, then invited sidecar enthusiasts to come join us. It later developed into a "rally" with the help of JR/Avanell and all the attendees. It was the first sidecar event we'd ever attended. FYI, here's the original post: http://www.sidecar.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6157&posts=9&highlight=Uncertain&highlightmode=1#M39537

Quote from senorcosta on January 3, 2011, 10:22 amWoo hoo! That's makes 5 so far. I have no problem meeting down there but perhaps we can meet halfway (Belmar?) to make it easy on everyone.
Let's keep looking for more people. There's got to be more than 5 in NJ 🙂
