the telephone repairman, in Newmarket England, with a BSA and toolbox sidecar unit

the top of the sidecar is the toolbox area, and the bottom is housing a ladder of 4 sections that went together to make an extension ladder

Rebel Packet is still on the Great Divide Ride with Wayne and Zina (Pirate Monkey Cult, from 2008ish) and his dog Lola, still creating a really good read about his travels

A lot of forest service roads and two ruts through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming etc

found on 2 different websites on the same day, coincidentally

obviously the sidecars are different and that the bikes are going in different directions, but how interesting that the angles are about the same. I suppose that the vehicles are from countries that drive on the opposite sides of the road to get sidecars on opposite sides

a new gallery of the "Wheels Through Time" motorcycle museum in North Carolina I just came across had these gems

it's a rare and intriguing find of a motorcycle that was made into a rail car, in this case, for a mine

tire chains, well... I had never thought about using old sprocket chains before, but I bet they would work just fine

these are just a sample of the gallery at http://goodsparkgarage.com/wheels-through-time-vintage-motorcycle-museum/#more-5525

Sidecar icecream still doing good business

Last time I saw them http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/10/something-new-for-event-catering.html

Von Dutch at the Rodeo Dr Concours

some of the oddest sidecars

all from a gallery at http://211611.homepagemodules.de/t521195f11793498-Verrueckte-Gespanne-9.html

a bicycle with a sidecar? I don't remember ever seeing one before, but this JC Higgins model appears to be very 40's

the guy who made or restored it said he is going to take it to some shows, and then ebay it. Not going to accept less than 10,000 dollars

Von Dutch's BMW cycle and side car, the "Toaster" R60/1000

this is the only "System Von Dutch" sign I've come across yet... but I've read about it.

This was at yesterdays Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show, and I've got to praise the people that throw this event, as this is the singular place to find Von Dutch made bikes that I've found. There were 3 bikes here this year, and 2 last year. 

100 years ago, you could order a really good motorcycle from the Sears catalog, you can't do that today on Amazon!
