Hello,

I'm new to the group, and this is my first post.
I'm a lifetime motorcycle rider 40+ years, but a new sidecar outfit owner, and rider.

I've combed through the site, and aside from the Hal Kendall books I found, there's no up to date links to training centers or info.

I live in Northern New Mexico (Santa Fe area) and would very much appreciate ANY beta y'all may have on training.

Thank you kindly!(Hopefully 3rd times a charm...tried posting 3x but site keeps hanging up !)

Welcome to the USCA and our forums, David. If you look at the "Sidecar Training" link on our website (main menu) you will see a link to the "Iron Buffalo" trike and sidecar training website there (in Denver). I don't know of how current the listing is or the quality but there is a resource for you. Maybe others can add to the thread.

Welcome David! I live in White Rock NM and have been a 2 wheel motorcyclist for 57 years. I got my first sidecar 3 years ago. I took a 3 wheel course (sidecars and trikes) in the Denver area about 6 years ago with Colorado ABATE.

Feel free to contact me anytime for a ride or to talk.

Hi Jim, Thanks! I'll check out ABATE as well. Is there a PM function on this forum - I don't see a pull-down?

If not my email is dsafian@mac.com, if you contact me, I'll follow up.

All the best,

David
