          picture #6 looks like a Seca 650 Turbo with a hack! It's probably FUN when the boost is built up to 12psi.
          Great photos, and THANKS!!

            Hi Planedick,
            thanks for posting. Some really nice looking rigs there. I have never seen that many sidecars in one place.

                I've seen quite a few, they have an annual sidecar thing in town here. Generally it's at the local boy scout camp.

                    That's Cool!

                    Thx for all the pics. I've only seen one in real life. They were all vintage bikes (around 5-7 of them) one morning when I was heading to work & the last one was a side care. Thats when I had the 84 XS650. I followed them to work & got the big wave from the dude at the end of the line with sidecar. I guess cause my bike was an old parrel twin I fit right in with them. Up here low population so not alot of cool stuff on the fringe. Apprecitate the show - Dan
