Whoops! It appears I didn't introduce myself. I have joined so many forums since getting my Ural that I get confused.Β 

Anyway, I live up in a little town in Maine called Gray. I have ridden motorcycles for over fifty years but I am a newbie to sidecars. I purchased a 2019 Ural Gear Up from Alphacars in MA and rode it home (5 hours!). I have so much to learn and unlearn. It's a challenge. I will post pics when I have paid my posting dues. basic_smile Β

Steve Jacob's, you are now free to post pictures of your 2019 Ural, and free to move about the cabin whilst the seatbelt sign is off.

Howdy all from San Diego, finally joined after getting my hack setup running. I've been using this forum like a library so it seems only fair I should pay my dues haha.

I'll add pictures when I'm allowed to but it's a 70's Velorex 562 on a 2005 Honda VTX1300s darkside.Β  Been about a 6 month of sidecar riding on this setup and I've been enjoying it every step of the way.

Β 

Looking forward to giving back to this community and adding where I can with how much it's given me.

Introducing my rig. My wife and I named her Saint Olga because she is a true challenge to handle.

My Olga was never a saint. Β She was a cantankerous beeatch but a lot of fun.

Joe Gilmore & Gracie, WELCOME to the craziest place on Earth, other than what you saw on the Main Street in Sturgis.

Greetings from NE Florida.Β  Β Call me Des (or pretty much anything except late for dinner)

I tootled around the DC area on a '75 Guzzi 850T with SoA Eagle.Β  I spent about 40 years in Tucson in the Arid Zone, but only with 2 wheelers until I got tangled up in Jeeps (I'm on my 9 1/2th of those)Β  I'm looking to pick up another Guzzi next week and the chair when I can find the right one.Β  IΒ  really enjoyed the Eagle.Β  They are pretty light, but the marine battery behind the seat and a big bag of cement on the floor helped keep anchored...usually.Β Β 

Looking forward to this.Β 

DesΒ

Des, WELCOME to the USCA Sidecar Forums, and....we will need to see a picture of your new-to-you Guzzi, as otherwise we cannot just take your word for it. Do not post any picture of your Jeep, unless it has a sidecar attached to it, but the Moto Guzzi...we want to see that baby.
