Sidecars at the Black Dog

Postby RedMenace » Wed May 28, 2008 2:41 pm

Just spoke to Jay-sounds like Dauntless Motors will be there. Adventure Sidecar will have 2 KLRs entered. Jim and Katherine are each bringing a hack along with dragging an assort ment of friends with sidecars down from Seattle with them. Cob and Don are sposed to be there with their Urals. I think the IMWA crew will be down again as well!
Should be fun!

We're currently expecting to be bringing four hacks and one "corner worker" volunteer on an XT down from Seattle, leaving Friday morning. Two of the hack monkeys are dogs. Jim is still in the final throws of determining if he'll be riding his big GS or swapping out with Katherine on the F650 on the course. The other two hacks are a DL650 and my Ural.

We're hoping to come down via FS25, past St. Helens, provided the road opens up in time (fingers crossed).

Yep, it should be a blast.

I ordered the Sidecar Team Trophy today. This will be for total combined points, pilot and monkey, Saturday and Sunday.

Hopefully the trophy shop will get it done in time! They said they should have it for me early next week.

I doubt FS25 will be open until late July, but I could be wrong.

You're probably right as there's a lot of snow in the Cascades this year. I can hope....

The Blackdog Dualsport Rally is this weekend, staging out of the Hood River County Fairgrounds. There will be about a dozen sidecars competing in a field of over 200 bikes

I just picked the trophy up from the shop. Adventure Sidecar is pleased to provide the Three Legged Dog Sidecar Team Trophy. This will be awarded to the sidecar team with the most combined points at the Black Dog-Pilot+Monkey Saturday and Sunday.
