Sidecar Sunday

I haven't done a Sidecar Sunday in a while so here's two. I'm guessing these two photos are from the same trip. 

This was taken at an old hotel/bar in Columbia, NJ along RT 94.
I'm pretty sure its now a Veterinary Hospital. Check out this Google Maps street view. https://goo.gl/maps/iFVAz The parking lot in the very front is gone but the porch remains the same. Casey Maas is sitting on the front porch. He rode in the hack that day.

C'mon Inn in Haledon, NJ. 

This was considered "home base" for most of the guys my dad rode with. Most of their adventures and road trips started here.

Unfortunately the C'mon Inn hasn't fared so well. https://goo.gl/maps/4yAdJ You can't even recognize the place. "Haledon Pizza" next door still has the same brick facade it had almost 40 years ago. But in the photo above check out the two brandy new Sporsters parked out front!

Side Car Sunday!

My dad and his father (though who wasn't a biker) on Billy's 750 Honda in a wishbone frame. Pretty wild. Still have the helmet, and still have the sidecar.

Billy's pan with the Steib sidecar. Such a cool setup!

This 1920 JD Harley was owned by my father's cousin, Chris Kusto, who use to run Antique Cycle Supply in Cedar Springs, MI. These photos were actually taken right in Chris' driveway.

Chris and Bruce Lindsay seen here in a news clipping from a small town they stopped in when they were on a 4 state road trip including a stop at the Harley factory. (More on that story at another time).

Here is Chris in a 2 page spread about their trip in an issue of American Motorcyclist, August, 1984. That Harley racing shirt use to be my father's. He wore it when he was a kid and hes the one who cut the sleeves off. He later sent it to Chris and it was used in some of the photos in the Antique Cycle Supply Catalog.

My father and his father. My Grandfather wasnt a bike guy but its cool he posed for the photo. Still have that helmet too! This was Billy's Honda and the sidecar I'm repairing now. This ol' Steib was on a lot of bikes.
