I need some info on how much it might cost to ship a bike from CO to SE NC. The links to shippers that y'all have used would be helpful. Everything hinges on these $$.

Ive used these guys. https://haulbikes.com You're not going to like what they charge.

So I filled out the form for a guesstimate because I put more than a few question marks. I thought of going to get it, but I can't get that kind of time away from home. Maybe my wife could die, then I could go. I could send my son, but he is a broke Esso bee and I would have to pay his way out and back and he is the one who would own the bike. Shipping might be cheaper.

Cap - I hope it isn't the same son that you gave your old Heritage.
If it is, please consider adopting me.

He is the one.

They'll send him several options....last time I used them it took a week to get the BMW from Cali.

I don't care if it takes 2 weeks as long as it gets here. There are bikes here to ride. The cost is the deciding factor or maybe not. I have wanted a side car since I rode with a fella from CA for awhile that had a Harley rig on the BRP in 76.

Are you shipping a sidecar ,bike or both?

Sidecar alone would need to be created the shipping is not that bad

Well I have decided to buy it and get him a cashier's check in the morning. I have to fabricate the upper bar for the hack and it might not be worth the shipping, but I am going to make a go of it. I shall lean on Smitty for info, but I think he enjoys helping the nuts.

Who's the side car for?

To ride my wife and maybe 17 great grands, but not all at once.

Share experiences and knowledge is what the forums are about.

Stepping in to new things keeps life interesting.

Shipping a sidecar is easier than a bike it needs to be created right and no stack on top labels then trucked.

Nick is keeping the bike to the last minute hoping he will get a paycheck before the end of January. I don't blame him he has turned an old bike into a new bike and has money in it that he won't recoup at this price. Would I like to own it yes, do I need it no, but who really needed soap on a rope.

What sidecar are you buying ?

This one. A jawa?

What bike you mounting it on and how carried away do you want to get.

Make it work

Refection

If you look at the FXR thread you will see the bike is gone. I don't know about the hack I might get it yet. I see what happens.

The hack is gone too. The guy that traded wanted the side car more than he wanted the Electra Glide, but he took both. It was a good dream while it lasted. I am not interested in a Hannagin type, but the old bullet.

I will check these out thank you I was hoping I would see something on fukbook. There are trikes for sale, but I like something that uses the left side of the tread. I like the open cockpit with a windscreen so the passenger can enjoy the rain too. It won't be attached all the time unless I find that I prefer the ride. On the other hand I enjoy zinging around the curves.

Here is another good reason for a side car, stability. I broke my ankle today pulling into a driveway. There was a hole in the dirt drive and I kept thinking, go right of the hole, but my front tire found the rim and steered me into the front yard. The tire hit soft ground and over she went. The left bag caught my ankle and it turned my foot around backwards and cracked it. Then the sudden stop slammed my head on the ground. Of course I wasn't wearing a helmet, but my fat head cushioned the impact.

There is not even the smallest scratch on the King, but I was thinking maybe I go back to the Heritage for awhile with the beach bars. I don't think much of the oem shiitt. I thought that it might be better when adjusted back down again, but they still too high and those wide suckers make it feel squirrelly in the front.

Now it is the end of a long day. They gave me a script for the good stuff and said no alcohol. We was 1 minute late to Walgreens and they wouldn't take the prescription so I came home hurting like hell. My daughter made up some ground ice and 2 shots of tequila with slices of lemon.

Aw crap, Cap.
Probably a restless night.
Hope you had some good smoke at least.

But of course and I found someone that has loud for the old price of $10 gm. I feel like a hung preacher at a nudist camp.

Well dam Cap, thought you knew better? You see what happens when you let a ho' get your attention, nothing but trouble.

Hopefully it's a good break, not one of those that have to be all pinned back together?

No it is a hairline crack, the foot was turned completely backwards under the saddlebag and the tendons are stretched and bruised. I always drank a lot of milk must be something to it.

This is a heavy foot.

#1 is not part of the equation.

#3 is viable.

#2 is more like it. I could still feel like I am riding a bike and storage room for a cooler, tent and wood stove. There is also the rare opportunity to fill the hack with ice and beer for a party. I will quit riding when they pry my cold dark hands off the handlebars.

Sounds like quite a dismount Cap. Don't happen to have a video do ya?



Glad you're not hurt worse than a tweaked ankle and sore noggin, that could have been real bad. Wishing you a quick recovery.

It was a short video as I went azz over tea kettle. Besides it wasn't the fall that hurt, it was the stop. Bwahahahah.....

Damn Ed, you gotta be more careful!
Here's to a speedy recovery....

I have to change these handle bars for a shorter rider. My wrists are up and the grips are bent wrong for me. The ez clutch isn't easy enough so I will get a Barnett cable. I need some Jardinni bars like what is on the Heritage. They are easy on the wrist and with cruise control I don't have to hold the grips.
