Was up in Maine for the sidecar social, and prior to that the National Rally. Running into Tom Gerkin again this past weekend I noted I would get around to updating my membership and I've finally created a forum account.
If we met at the National Rally in Maine, I was the Asian-American fellow with the blue Triumph T100 and DMC sidecar.
I also have in the garage a BMW R100 w/Velorex 563 that I am working on here and there. It needs work, for example I rode it last night and about 2 miles from my house the clock fell off. The pod holding it was cracked from a previous owner probably over tightening the bolt and previously glued, well it gave up. Luckily I carry emergency zip ties for such a situation. 😀
For a non-sidecar setup I currently also have a 2017 Thruxton 1200.
In my non-free time I'm a professional geek. In my free time a motorcycle and car enthusiast and dad to two kiddos.

Kenta, I remember you from the National Sidecar Rally in Maine, and remember your blue Triumph sidecar rig.
Glad you made it here, to the greatest sidecar forums on THIS planet.

Welcome to a fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable group of fellow enthusiasts. 🍻
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃
Yep. Welcome. We need professionalism.
I remember you from the national in Maine! You have a really sharp looking rig!!
Thanks all. Glad to finally be here and checking out this forum. I am usually lurking on ADVrider for most of my sidecar and airhead stuff.
Recently checked out another rig for sale, but I don't have the space for another project bike. I'm now debating installing a 4 post lift so I can start parking under my car 😀

Oh, Kenta, you don't need a 4 post lift to raise your car, so you can park sidecar rigs under it...a 2 post lift will do the job.
BTW, that is three (3) different sidecar rigs pictured above, an '06 Wing, a '15 Wing, and a '19 Wing.
AND....'tis better HERE....because on that "other" forums, they are all "inmates", whereas we are the Guards. 
And...And...I almost forgot one picture:

But! But! But!…that’s not a Subaru under the rig!!!
Illegitemi non carborundum est!
I think I see tire marks on the roof of the Mini.
“Hagrid, was that you?”

A fried of mine stores one of his cars that way on a 2-post. I just don't like the idea of leaving the wheels on the car unloaded and hanging, especially not all winter long. 4-post would keep the wheels planted and allow for easier drive on/drive off without messing around with positions the lift arms.
Most of my car work these days is relegated to just fluid changes and brakes. I have a scissor lift currently that occupies the bay but it's not condusive to parking anything under it. I might keep that and move it to the other bay to use for occasional work and maybe try using it as a large lift table for the sidecar rigs.
