Salutations fellow Sidecarists,

Most folks call me Chuy, but I am Gerald Gregory, Tennessee State Rep. You may have seen Miss Domino and I at a rally or two on the 2000 FLHTCUi with a Liberty sidecar. I got into sidecar riding literally by an accident. As I survived a terrible riding ordeal in 1997 while attending the Laconia Rally in New Hampshire. I recovered as well as possible, and was in Sturgis in 1998 on my first Sidecar rig(1998 FLHTCUi and TLE sidecar), and new prosthetic limb, as one of the many injuries I survived was an above knee amputation. Sidecaring has given me the opportunity to keep riding the countryside and meeting interesting Folks in my travels. My rigs always get a good look over for hidden top secret sidecar technology....... basic_smile  

or maybe it was just Miss Domino they were looking at.....

I have submitted a few stories for the Sidecarist magazine, I tried to get The TinShed sidecar Pow Wow going ,  and have been a member for some time. Apparently, I just have never posted here.

 

I guess I will have to post a couple more times before I can share any photos. If you see me around Mena , say howdy, I am easy to spot at 6'6". If any other Tennessee sidecarist are heading over to Mena, I will be leaving the Fayetteville, TN area to head over on Wednesday morning . going to do the 8.5 hour ride in 2 days to enjoy the trip over. 

Looking forward to visiting the Mena Area and meeting all the wonderful sidecarists.....

Ride safe All and Be Well,

Chuy  Sweaty

Good to have you active in the forums and helping bring sidecars into public view in TENN-a-see (see, i pronounce it correctly!). At 6’6” that ought to be quite visible!

Just chiming in to say hello. 

My wife and I will be heading down for the USCA rally on the 4th. We will be trailering our 2012 Ural Patrol behind our class c and possibly staying at the Iron Mountain campground.

Is this where the majority of the group is staying at ?

We also have a 06 HD Ultra with a Motorvation Formula II sidecar project. I have a few things to finish up on it. I need to get the hack brake hooked up to a master cylinder with linkage to the bikes back brake. Also need advice on gear reduction in the primary and an ez steer.

Will John Sweet be there selling these systems?

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hard to say how many are staying at Iron Mountain.  Probably about half IME.
