So far so good. Counting down the hours to get done from the time it will take me. And I am in the negatives so far. Got a large proposal due today and I keep getting interrupted.

Same job title and pay, just more work!

Good afternoon all. Made it back to CA. No inspection at the border this time! In all of the chaos I forgot that I had more than 50 rounds of ammunition! 6 more hours to home. Wife had to stop at IKEA.

Have a consultation scheduled for August 21, guess I will know more then. I'm sure I will see way better, can't get too much worse!

That's one purty rig. I don't know how a springer front end would handle a sidecar, probably ok. Maybe... Looks a lot like a Liberty sidecar (money no object, would be my aftermarket choice) but it isn't, don't think I've seen a pic of this one before. Coil spring on the sidecar rides a lot smoother when it's empty, when empty, the Harley car on a leaf spring really bobs around, but it settles down with a person's weight. Thing that stands out to me is that tiny hole to squeeze into, way smaller than my Ural's and that's tight for me. Gotta have room to get the long legs in, and you're not short either, Al. Harley has a space behind the seat for storage, no trunk, and you can key lock the seat back up to close it off. Pics - notice the difference in the cockpit opening, I can fit in the Harley car ok.



Harley factory car



And a Liberty for comparison. Good sized cockpit opening in it, too.
