Finally received my new to me 1980 Motorvation Coupe Royale parked next to my 1987 GL1200A. I think they look "Right" together. But have to run the roads so it'll be a few months before I can get serious.

The Coupe Royale is a pretty unique sidehack. I hope you get to try to wear it out. My Motorvation Formula II LTD has about 150,000 miles I put on it, and it had two previous owners so I don't know how many actual miles it has gone. I replaced the torsion bar after bouncing over a tree limb that was across the road while riding home in a thunderstorm. That incident damaged the splines on the torsion bar enough so it wouldn't hold its position. I also replaced the bearings on the sidecar wheel.

150,000 wow, how many tugs did you go through?

Was out riding in Fangorn Forest, IN, when a wandering Ent leapt out in front of my rig. Or maybe I tried taking a decreasing radius 20mph right hander at 40mph. Whatever.

We managed to get the rig back on the road, and with the help of a crow bar and some baling wire to pry the muffler away from the rear tire, I was able to ride to lunch and then back home.

Poor baby is resting in the garage while the insurance company tries to figure out what to do.

Says a lot about the strength of EML frames and connections that the rig is still drivable.

Duncan, so sorry to hear about the rig taking a beating, but am glad you are okay. Have admired that rig from afar, and inspected up close. Is a beautiful set up.

Did the sidecar take all the impact? Any damage to the front forks?

#32 · December 15, 2020, 7:31 am

Sure glad you were not injured Duncan. Best of luck with the repairs.

Morning Duncan,

Glade you made it home. I'm volunteering at Carillon Park in Wright Brothers tomorrow 9-1. If you need anyone to stop by and kick tires. Or whatever.

CCjon: As far as I can tell sidecar took most of the impact - M/C forks and frame seem to be ok but I haven't had it thoroughly inspected yet. Left side pannier and mounts took a bit of a beating and muffler is toast - especially after we used a crowbar to pry it off the rear wheel. 😁

Swampfox: I did end up with a broken rib [doctor: "Take tylenol and suck it up - you'll feel better in a few weeks"], a few assorted sprains and bruises, and a severely damaged ego. Time has solved all but the ego problem.

Dave: Today was filled with household chores - hope we can get together later.

BTW, I owe a big thanks to the other folks from the Greater Cincinnati BMW Club who were on the ride - they managed to get me and the rig up on the road and made sure I got home ok.

Thanks

Duncan

My DMC Tomahawk SE on my Indian Chief. My Australian Shepherds, Montana and Cherokee have thousands of miles of riding. DMC builds a beautiful, quality sidecar.

Nice looking rig. I especially like the idea of the door. Saves the doggies from a jump.
