Bob here - lurked for a while - I have quite a few Airheads and started putting parts together to build an airhead outfit with a velorex.  In the meantime I found another outfit that I purchased in CT.  In my non-sidecar time I have a bunch of airheads, an oilhead, an old yamaha DT and a 70 BSA - I like bikes.

Welcome Bob, post a few more copmments on various posts and you get a pass into the real world of sidecars. Bots and Spammers make our world unsafe so we filter them out.

Oncein, then you can post photos of your collection of bikes.

Thanks Jon.  I’ve read about the secret probation.  Hopefully you’ll learn that I’m not a robot.

I've met a few bots who are air heads, but never a bot with enough class to own an air head, let alone multiples.  Look forward to seeing your collection. 😎 


Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

@scott-h 

I am an airhead - in fact I'm the current Chairmen of the Airheads Beemer Club... a position I tried not to take...

The airheads are a quirky group but a lot of fun.  The bikes are the same.  

 

I look forward to being released from internet jail...

 

I can share some pics soon...

Hello fellow New England area Airhead. I've got an '80 R100T with a Velorex. Not the best setup as it has no subframe, and has had various kinks to work out. Not necessarily sidecar related just 45-year-old bike problems. Like last just month my left side silencer rotted and the pipe split in two. Fun bike though!

@kenta, that '80 R100T had better lines and style than newer R1200RTs.

Where in New England do you live, or close to?

We just had our National Sidecar Rally in Topsham, Maine this past June.

Oh I agree. I actually haven't really liked much that BMW has done style-wise until the recent R12 models. May even pick one up after a few years if I can find one, and after they work out all the new model gremlins. 

 

I'm in Londonderry, NH. Just one town south of Manchester. 

 

I'm curious where Bob is at in the state. Don't see many sidecars around here with the exception of the local bike night.

@moto-bob, I used to have British bikes (72 Tri Daytona 500, 72 Tri 650 Tiger V, 72 650 BSA, 74 Tri Trident), but I'm better now.

@kenta I have a subframe for that bike I’d be willing to sell if you’re interested.  

also I have a stash of parts including many /7 era mufflers.  We should hook up.  Feel free to dm me.

@michael-lydon I have a bsa I have never heard run. I feel like if I touch I’m setting off a chain reaction I can’t stop.  At least it’s all together now.  

I just did some work and was paid in a Ducati multistrada and I have to say there is some magic there.  I may have to try other bikes too.
