Sidehacks
Awake!
It was a misty roll up the 5 fwy through a fog and cloud
covered downtown LA and up to Griffith Park to find
the 34th Annual Sidecar Rally.
We
get to the park rolling past early morning joggers and
dog-walkers and find the rally in the northern corner
of the park. There was a special corral for two wheeled
cruisers like me and Ragu as Billy blasted his hack
to the show strip next to a nice grass field. There
were well over 200 bikes with sidecars or hacks on their
side.
From
the ridiculous to the insane.
We thought we would see more hacks like this Firetruck
theme at this show. There were spaceship-like hacks
that are aerodynamic and fully enclosed as well as utility
hacks with tool boxes or flat-beds. Personally I prefer
the retro streamlined style of the Steil sidecars.
All
in all a good showing in the park with enthusiasts of
all motorcycle builders. There was even a strong presence
of Russian-Made bikes and military side-cars.
Were
you there?
Send us pics of your ride to be included in a follow-up
story.
