Long time sidecarist that recently turned 80 and have to quit the sport.
Welcome to a great crew of good people. 😎 Sorry to read you have to stop enjoying the fun of sidecars.
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃
Gosh, I am 85 and yesterday (3-14-26) I spent 4 hours on a nice ride to clear out the cobwebs.

My hero!! I'm 78 and still going strong. Fellow in my CMA chapter is still driving a trike at just short of 90. We think he must be an alien from a planet far far away!
@carnut Hey I was just at the Vincent Rally last year in England and Bill Easter from California road every day at the rally and he celebrated his 90yh birthday..He was an inspiration to many. Cheers. Ross Metcalfe just north of you in manitobM
Bill Easter has been a reliable Vincent rider for many decades. I met him at many Vincent rallies including the two in, '75 and '77 at Shadow Lake. Ontario. Lost touch over the decade past. Glad to hear he's still active.
Aging myself, I ceased riding my Black Shadow a few years back and spent a couple of years finishing a long term project consisting of a Vincent Touring Rapide and Bender sidecar, both 1952 vintage.
