Hello Forum,

I'm Bill from Queen Creek, Arizona.Β 

I currently have three sidecar rigs: 2023 Ural Gear-Up, 2003 Ural Sidecar Wolf, and a 2003 Honda Goldwing with sidecar.Β 

My longest trip so far was from Astoria, Oregon to San Francisco, CA in the Ural Gear-Up.

Greetings and hallucinations, Bill!Β  Can we assume you're friends with Ben Franklin and feature in some of his adventure reports?

Either way, good to have you aboard!

I don't know Ben Franklin yet, but look forward to meeting other sidecarists out here in the desert.

Hello everyone, I recently joined earlier this month, and have not yet received my membership number and confirmation.

I live in Payson, Arizona about 75 miles N.E. of Phoenix. I had a Ural rig a few years ago, but wound iup selling it when I realized it was too under powered to be a serious traveling set-up. I now have a Texas Sidecar on order which I am attaching to my BMW R1200RT. The wife and I are really looking forward to getting back into some sidecar fun.

Hi Ben, I actually ordered the Texas Sidecar through a dealer in the Prescott area. It should be shipping soon. I also have a few other bikes including a CanAm Spyder LT. Message me when you're headed this way. I'm always up for a ride.

New here but have owned a sidecar for over 5 years. Bought it new - but NEVER mounted it. Sold the bike. It is a Northwest sidecar Cargo car made in Boise. Joining to find out more info on cars made by Northwest Sidecars in Idaho and Washington. I think they mainly sold Velorex and mounted cars to bikes for people. Any pictures of other sidecars that they made?? Thanks
