Hello. Lifetime 2 wheel rider. I live near Belair MD. Found me a good deal on a 1984 Harley-Davidson FLT TourGlide wit an attached Harley-Davidson sidecar. Only 35L on the clock but it had been unused for almost 10 years and left outside for its last 3 years. I got it running and cleaned up. Completely gone thru by a professional. Lots of new critical parts and a lot of elbow grease. Now just waiting for winter to go away.

You have a rare find there. Protect it. The tour Glide is a true classic and was the parent of the RG line we have today. And to have it with a matching sidecar amazing.

 

More pictures please.

Criminy, Don! That's one big BMW.  Is that the new R18 Transcontinental?  If so, that might be the first one ever hacked!  Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

Now that you've joined the forum the next thing is to join the USCA!  Maybe write a story for the Sidecarist Magazine explaining how this rig came to be a reality.

Have owned 5 rigs but Rig #2 is my current one!

  Hannigan has done a few R18's  I have a picture of one of them if I can find it.  One they did is owned by  someone in my area.

Good morning,  Michael, here very glad to be here. I and my partner Kathy have been riding a long time. We now find ourselves in the market for a sidecar.. I am just finding out how difficult this process can be.. we currently reside in Nevada and are searching the west coast for a hack...any and all info would greatly appreciated. Thanks: Archangel.

Welcome Michael

Glad to have you aboard. Are you looking to add a sidecar to your current ride or are you looking for a turn key outfit. Give us a little more background and what you have in mind and the help will follow
