KTMrad 507 Posted June 16, 2019 Finally, after being without our rig for a year and a half, we finally got it back from Pennsylvania Sidecar builder, Freedom Sidecars...it's now modified for more ground clearance and ready to continue our Round the World Trip in January 2020.....Mexico and South America, here we come ! Yeehaw ! These next 6 months are going to fly by fast as we prepare and anticipate our departure out of the country and then we'll be gone for a few years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New clutch, rebuilt tranny and rear differential, completely new mounts and sidecar frame to get more ground clearance....original build was not satisfactory.. glad I found this out before we were going to leave for Mexico last year.

KTMrad 507 Posted June 18, 2019 We got our rig back yesterday, had to charge battery overnight. Put the tank back on and she fired right up. I went to my room to get my boots and jacket to go for a short ride to the park. Doc stared at me the whole time, thinkin' "Dad, are we goin' for a ride" ? He jumped right in and felt totally at home in his sidecar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
